History

Okazakikōen-mae Station opened on 1 June 1923 as Nishi-Okazaki on the privately held Aichi Electric Railway, and was relocated twice — first about 260 m east in June 1925 as part of the doubling of the Yahagibashi–Higashi-Okazaki section, then west to its present site on 1 December 1976 in connection with a land readjustment project along National Route 248. Aichi Electric was absorbed by Meitetsu on 1 August 1935, and the station was renamed Okazakikōen-mae on 1 April 1936 at the request of Okazaki's tourism association, Okazaki Park (now Okazaki Castle Park) being already a noted cherry-blossom site. The station has been unstaffed since 1 February 1971, picked up Tranpass on 15 September 2004, and gained a lift and accessible toilets on 10 December 2021.

Notes

When Okazaki's August fireworks festival packs the trains, normally-skipping limited and rapid limited expresses stop here — but the station's ticket machines don't issue Mu-ticket reserved-seat passes, so the express's first-class carriages stay closed.
