History
Nagashinojō Station opened on April 1, 1924 as Nagashinokojōshi Station on the privately operated Hōraiji Railway in present-day Shinshiro, Aichi Prefecture, named for the nearby remains of Nagashino Castle. The Hōraiji Railway was nationalized on August 1, 1943 alongside neighbouring lines to form the Japanese Government Railways Iida Line, and the station was renamed to its current form. Scheduled freight handling ended in 1962 and the station has been unattended since December 1, 1971. Operations passed to JR Central with JNR privatization on April 1, 1987, the station building was rebuilt on December 24, 1997, and TOICA service began on March 15, 2025.
