Ushikubo Station (牛久保駅 Ushikubo-eki?) is a railway station on the Iida Line in Toyokawa, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is located 6.6 rail kilometers from the southern terminus of the Iida Line at Toyohashi Station.
Ushikubo Station was established on July 15, 1897 as a station on the now-defunct Toyokawa Railway (豊川鉄道 Toyokawa Tetsudō?) connecting Toyohashi with Toyokawa. On August 1, 1943, the Toyokawa Railway was nationalized along with some other local lines to form the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Iida Line. Due to the expansion of traffic at the nearby Toyokawa Naval Arsenal, the station buildingw was also rebuilt in 1943; this building survived the Toyokawa Air Raid and is still used as the station building to date. Scheduled freight operations were discontinued in 1971. 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.
