• Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line: Futatsuiri ⇄ Higashi-Biwajima

Nishi-Biwajima Station opened on 23 January 1914 on what is today the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line, in the city of Kiyosu in Aichi Prefecture. Passenger service was suspended during the Pacific War, and reopened on 1 August 1949 after the abolition of nearby Biwajima-bashi Station. Long served by semi-express trains, the station was downgraded to local-only stops in 1987 when neighbouring Futatsuiri Station took over that role. Passing tracks remained in place until 2019, after which a complete rebuild produced a new station building that opened on 16 January 2021. The platforms now consist of two opposed sides with separate ticket gates for each direction.

Biwajima Junction, where the Inuyama Line diverges from the Nagoya Main Line, lies within Nishi-Biwajima Station's own precincts, about 0.3 km from the station on the Nagoya side. It is a flat crossing on an extremely high-density stretch of line, which makes this lightly used, unattended local stop important to safe operation.
