Hon-Nagashino

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

The station opened on 1 February 1923 as Hōraiji Station on the privately built Hōraiji Railway, was renamed Hōraijiguchi in March 1929 to free the original name for a new station on the Taguchi Railway that physically lay closer to Hōrai-ji temple, then became a connecting point for the Taguchi Railway in May 1929. In August 1943 Hōraiji Railway was nationalised into the Japanese Government Railways' Iida Line and the station was renamed Hon-Nagashino. The Taguchi Line (by then Toyohashi Railroad's) closed in 1968, leaving Hon-Nagashino a standalone Iida Line stop. Freight ended in 1971, parcel handling in 1984, and with the 1987 JNR break-up the station passed to JR Central. TOICA acceptance toward Toyohashi began on 15 March 2025.

In the unfinished Niimi Nankichi novel Yama no Naka, the protagonist changes at this station — then named Hōraijiguchi — from the train he has arrived on to a Taguchi Railway train on his way to Shiotsu Hot Spring.
