History
Uedai Station opened on 1 April 1931 on the privately built Chita Railway, which became part of the Meitetsu group on 1 February 1943. A private siding to the Tsuzuki Spinning Mill served the station from November 1952 until October 1968, when the spur was lifted and the station made unstaffed. Platforms were extended from four to six cars in 1980. The Tranpass automated-fare system was introduced on 14 March 2007 alongside the centralised station-management rollout, and Manaca smart-card gates followed in February 2011.

Notes
A 0.9-km industrial branch from Uedai once served the Tsuzuki Spinning Mill; it lasted just under sixteen years, from November 1952 to October 1968.
