History
Nishinokuchi Station opened on 29 March 1913 with the Aichi Electric Railway's extension from Ōnomachi to Tokoname, and the line passed to the Meitetsu group on 1 August 1935. The stop was suspended during wartime in 1944 and reopened on 15 September 1946 as an unstaffed station. On 15 December 2004 the original 6-car relative platforms were replaced with an 8-car island layout and a footbridge station to support the new Airport Line, and Manaca smart-card gates were added in February 2011. The station also gained passing loops and a stabling siding so that Tokoname Line and Airport Line traffic could be sorted south of Ōtagawa.
