• Meitetsu Inuyama Line: Inuyamaguchi ⇄ Fusō

Kotsuyōsui Station opened on 6 August 1912 as a station on what is now Meitetsu's Inuyama Line. It was closed in 1944 and reopened on 18 November 1952. The Toyobo Inuyama factory siding (4.0 km) was abandoned on 1 December 1968 and the station has been unattended since 1 June 1974. The Nagoya-bound platform was extended to eight cars in 1979, the platform canopy was extended in 2003, and a new station building with automated faregates and ticket machines was completed in January 2004. SF Panorama Card/Yurica use began on 15 February 2004, the station was upgraded to a sub-express (junkyū) stop with the timetable revision of 27 December 2008, and the manaca IC card was introduced on 11 February 2011.

Kotsuyōsui sits in Fusō, Aichi, very close to the Inuyama city border, and is sometimes mistaken for an Inuyama-city station because the neighbouring Inuyama district itself is named Kottsu. The station's name comes from another name for the Aishō River that flows past — Kotsu Yōsui — though the river-name reading 'kottsu-yōsui' differs from the station-name reading 'kotsu-yōsui'. The two opposed side platforms are deliberately unequal: the Nagoya-bound platform accommodates eight cars, while the Inuyama-bound platform takes only six.
