The station has two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. The station has automated ticket machines, Manaca automated turnstiles and is staffed.[2]
Station history
In 2015, Meitetsu and Aichi Prefecture agreed to construct a new station on the Kowa Line between Takayokosuka and Minami Kagiya in anticipation of the opening of the Nishi-Chita General Hospital.[3]
The name of the station, Kagiya-nakanoike Station, was finalized on 22 December 2022.[1] A secondary name, Nishi-Chita Hospital Station (加木屋中ノ池駅, Kōritsu Nishi-Chita sōgō Byōinmae-eki), was added at the request of the city of Tokai.[2]
The station opened on 16 March 2024 as finalized on 1 September 2023.[2][4] Initially, at the time of the station's opening, only the north exit became operational. The south exit will only be opened at a later date.[5]
