Toei Station is an intermediate station on the Iida Line connecting Toyohashi Station (Aichi Prefecture) and Tatsuno Station (Nagano Prefecture). The station is located northeast of Shin-ichi City. At the time, it served as a transfer station, transporting building materials to the neighboring Uren Dam; now it is purely a passenger station.

This station opened in 1923 (Taisho 12). Later, it became the boundary station between the Hōraiji Railway and the Sanshin Railway. In 1943 (Showa 18), both railway lines were nationalized, becoming a station on the JR Iida Line. In 1987 (Showa 62), the station was taken over by JR Central.

Mikawa-Kawai Station is served by the Iida Line, and is located 45.2 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Toyohashi Station.

The station has one island platform connected to the station building by a level crossing. The station is unattended.

Mikawa-Kawai Station was established on February 1, 1923, as a station on the now-defunct Hōraiji Railway (鳳来寺鉄道, Hōraiji Tetsudō). The Sanshin Railway began operations to this station from December 21, 1933. On August 1, 1943, both lines were nationalized along with some other local lines to form the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Iida Line. All freight operations were discontinued by 1966. The station has been unattended since November 1, 1986.^[2] Along with its division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company.
