Shin Kani Station (新可児駅, Shin-Kani-eki) is a railway station on the Meitetsu Hiromi Line in the city of Kani, Gifu, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu).

Lines

Shin Kani Station is served by the Meitetsu Hiromi Line, and is located 14.9 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Inuyama. It is located close to Kani Station operated by JR Central on the Taita Line for Tajimi and Mino-Ōta.

Layout

The station has a bay platform with two bays, serving three tracks. Platform 1 serves trains bound for Mitake. Although the line from Shin Kani to Mitake is a continuation of the same Hiromi Line from Inuyama, the lines are physically disconnected at Shin Kani Station and passengers wishing to go beyond Shin Kani must transfer at this station. There is a second wicket within the station for such passengers. Therefore, passengers transferring must pass through one set of gates, and passengers starting their trip at Shin Kani must pass through two sets of gates. Platform 1 supports trains with up to two cars, so only wanman driver-only operation trains can go from Shin Kani to Mitake.

Platform 2 and Platform 3 both serve trains bound for Inuyama. Platform 2 can support trains with up to 4 cars, and Platform 3 can support trains with up to 6 cars.

There is one exit. When leaving, there is a convenience store on the left and ticket machines and a staff window on the right. A taxi stand is located outside on the station. JR Central Kani Station is located to the right.
