History

Kodomonokuni Station opened on 24 July 1936 as Susaki Station, on what is now the Meitetsu Gamagori Line in Nishio, Aichi Prefecture. It was suspended during World War II in 1944, and reopened on 1 October 1952 at a new site some distance to the west, becoming unstaffed at that time. The station moved again in October 1974, this time around 400 metres east to serve the newly opened Aichi Children's Land amusement park, and on 10 October 1976 it was renamed Kodomonokuni Station after that park. Until the mid-1980s some limited expresses made special stops here. The station has a single elevated side platform built to handle six-car trains, with a wide ground-level entrance designed for group visitors.
