• Meitetsu Mikawa Line: Sanage ⇄ Koshido

Hiratobashi Station opened on 31 October 1924 as a stop on the privately built Mikawa Railway, which was absorbed by Meitetsu on 1 June 1941. The station was de-staffed on 1 April 1967 and has been unmanned ever since. A centralised station management system and Tranpass fare-card equipment were installed in October 2003; manaca smart cards came into use in February 2011, and Tranpass service ended in February 2012. The single side platform sits on a sharp curve, and this is the only stop on the mountain (Yamasen) section of the Mikawa Line where trains cannot pass each other.

The station's name comes from the Hirato Bridge on the Yahagi River, the old Route 153 crossing about ten minutes' walk east — a span the line itself does not cross.
