• Meitetsu Seto Line: Asahi-mae ⇄ Ōmori-Kinjōgakuin-mae

Inba Station opened on 2 April 1905 as a station on the privately operated Seto Electric Railway. It was suspended during the Second World War in 1944, briefly reopened, and then closed altogether on 5 April 1969. As surrounding residential development picked up, Meitetsu reopened the station on 22 December 1995, about 200 metres toward the Sakae-machi end of the line from its original site — the line's first new station in roughly a decade. A centralised station management system arrived on 24 August 2006 and the station became unattended; Manaca IC ticketing began on 11 February 2011. An accessible toilet and elevators were brought into service on 30 March 2023.

When Inba reopened in 1995 after a 26-year closure, it was the first new station Meitetsu had added to any of its existing lines in roughly ten years.
