History
Shinshō Station opened on 20 July 1975 as an infill stop on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line between Miyamado and Kintetsu Yokkaichi, located 40.7 rail kilometres from Kintetsu Nagoya. The station is built on an embankment and consists of two opposed side platforms with three-car effective length, served by a station building and ticket gates on the west side at ground level. PiTaPa acceptance was added on 1 April 2007. The station was made permanently unstaffed in December 2014 and operates today as a satellite of Kintetsu Yokkaichi, equipped with PiTaPa- and ICOCA-compatible automated gates and ticket machines. It carries station number E22.

Notes
Although the platforms are perched on an embankment, the nearest bus stops cannot pull into the station: regular Mie Kōtsū routes call at "Shinshō" on Route 1 about 200 metres away, while highway coaches to Kyoto and Chubu Airport stop a further 500 metres north at "Shinshō Garage."
