• Meitetsu Kakamigahara Line: Ogase ⇄ Nijikken

The station opened on 1 August 1926 on the Kakamigahara Railway as Nirentai-mae Station, named after the Imperial Army's second regimental garrison nearby. Mergers in 1935 brought it under Meigi Railway and then Nagoya Railroad. On 1 December 1938 it was renamed Meiden-Kakamigahara, and on 23 July 1942 the platforms were moved west to enable double-tracking. The station became unstaffed in 1952, was placed under a delegated business arrangement in 1959, and its current building was completed in 1979. A station-management system was introduced and the station was destaffed again on 1 March 2007, with Manaca IC-card service following on 11 February 2011.

The station's reading was changed administratively on 1 October 1965 from 'Meiden-Kagamihara' to 'Meiden-Kakamigahara' to match the official city name, although the kanji written form stayed identical.
