Tokoname Station (常滑駅 Tokoname-eki?) is a railway station operated by Meitetsu's Tokoname Line located in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is located 29.3 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Jingū-mae Station. It is also regarded as the terminal station for the Meitetsu Airport Line.
Tokoname Station was opened on April 1, 1913 as a terminal station on the Aichi Electric Railway Company. The Aichi Electric Railway became part of the Meitetsu group on August 1, 1935. A second platform was added in December 1982, and the station building was rebuilt in 1987. The station was closed from January 2002 to October 2003 to allow for the elevation of the tracks and the construction of a new station building. In January 2005, the Tranpass system of magnetic fare cards with automatic turnstiles was implemented. The Meitetsu Airport Line also began operations from January 2005.
