History
Keirinjō-mae Station opened on 17 September 1950 on the Toyohashi Railroad's Higashida Main Line, in Higashida-machi, Toyohashi, Aichi. Safety zones were added on 20 March 2007, when the platform was upgraded from painted markings on the carriageway to formally raised refuges — a change that lengthened transit times across the stop by about one minute because Toyohashi-bound trains now have to wait roughly four minutes for trains coming from Akaiwaguchi or Undō-Kōen-mae to clear the stop.

Notes
Although the stop is named for and is closest to the Toyohashi Keirinjō (bicycle-racing track), the actual venue is about 500 metres away, and on race days a free shuttle bus from Toyohashi Station handles the visitor traffic — so racing-day patrons mostly bypass the stop. The Toyohashi Railroad's downtown-line offices are next to the stop, with a storage track running off to a depot used for parking trams between services.
