• Meitetsu Seto Line: Obata (Aichi) ⇄ Moriyama-Jieitai-Mae

Hyōtan-yama Station opened on 3 June 1936 on the Seto Electric Railway — the last station the company opened before being absorbed into Meitetsu on 1 September 1939. The station was suspended during the Second World War in 1944 but reopened relatively quickly on 15 September 1946. It remained unattended for most of its life until a new station building was completed on 6 October 1981 and ticket-agency staffing was introduced. The platforms were lengthened in March 1978 to accept four-car trains. The station was renamed from Hyōtan-yama (with the old form 瓢簞山) to its present-form name on 29 January 2005. A second rebuild on 16 December 2006 introduced the Tranpass system, after which the station became unattended again.

Hyōtan-yama's platforms are unusually narrow, and because expresses and semi-expresses pass at speed without stopping, the station omits the painted platform numbers that other Seto Line stations display.
