• Meitetsu Seto Line: Owari Asahi ⇄ Inba

The Asahi-mae name itself dates from 1942, when nearby Tsunboishi Station — which opened with the Seto Electric Railway on 2 April 1905 — was either relocated and renamed, or closed and replaced by a new station, depending on the source. The Seto Electric Railway was absorbed into the Meitetsu group on 1 September 1939. A new station building was completed on 19 April 1985. The station was made unstaffed and the centralised station management system was introduced on 31 August 2006, with Tranpass following on 16 December 2006 and the manaca IC card on 11 February 2011. A municipal address-block revision on 21 November 2015 changed the location from Asahimae-chō Hirokute to Asahimae-chō 5-chōme. Renovation and a new north-side building entered service on 28 March 2018.

Asahi-mae has two opposed side platforms on a ground-level alignment and is unstaffed under a centralised station management system; day-to-day management is handled from Ōzone Station, with Sangō Station providing on-site staff during incidents. The south gate (Sakaemachi-direction track 2) is the original, with the north gate (Owari-Seto-direction track 1) added in March 2018 mainly as a barrier-free entrance for wheelchair users. A footbridge crosses the tracks even after the north gate opened. The south building has a vacant retail tenancy space with closed shutters; the public restroom stands beside the building rather than inside the station. Before centralised management, the station was left open during the early-morning and late-night hours when no staff were present, and the driver collected the tickets of alighting passengers.
