History
Enokido Station opened on 18 November 1944 on the Meitetsu Tokoname Line at Minato-chō, Tokoname, Aichi. Freight services ended in fiscal 1961, and the station became unstaffed on 1 June 1974. During the elevation works between Enokido and Tokoname, undertaken for the Chubu Centrair International Airport link, the station temporarily became a terminus and regained on-site staff from 16 January 2002 — during the closure of the Tokoname-bound section a replacement bus operation ran from the new Meitetsu Bus Enokido Depot, and limited-express and express services called at the station. The work was completed on 4 October 2003 and ordinary services resumed, with the station reverting to unstaffed status on 30 November 2003. A consolidated remote-management system administered from Tokoname Station was installed on 20 May 2004, the Transpass magnetic-ticket system entered service on 15 January 2005, and the manaca IC card began on 11 February 2011, with Transpass withdrawn on 29 February 2012.

Notes
Enokido's daily users are mostly commuters to the adjacent LIXIL Enokido plant — Japan's main toilet, basin and other sanitary-ware production site for the company — so ridership drops sharply on weekends and public holidays when the factory is closed.
