Ōtagawa Station is the main station of Tōkai, Aichi Prefecture and a junction where the Meitetsu Kōwa Line branches off the Tokoname Line, 12.3 kilometres from the Tokoname Line's terminus at Jingū-mae. It opened on 18 February 1912 as Ōtagawa Station on the Aichi Electric Railway, and the Chita Railway connected here on 1 April 1931. The Aichi Electric Railway merged into the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) on 1 August 1935, followed by the Chita Railway on 1 February 1943. A continuous grade-separation project from 2007 to 2011 produced Meitetsu's first three-storey station, with the elevated structure entering service on 17 December 2011 and the east-side plaza completed in March 2012.

In 2003 the city proposed renaming the station to Tōkai, but a petition drive collected about 2,500 local signatures in roughly ten days and the city dropped the plan, including pulling about 26 million yen for the change from the next budget.
