History
Kita-Jūsan-Jō-Higashi Station opened on 2 December 1988 alongside the rest of the inaugural Sakaemachi-to-Hōsui-Susukino segment of the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Tōhō Line. The stop went through two working names during planning, billed in 1981 as Kōsei Station after the nearby Kōsei district and in 1983 as Kita-13-Jō Station, before the directional Higashi suffix was added to distinguish it from the Namboku Line. Two opposed side platforms sit beneath the Kita-13-Jō-Hokkyō-dōri, with two exits and a lift at the first. Platform-edge doors were activated on 24 January 2017, and a sub-name 'Tenshi-Daigaku Mae' was added on 1 June 2025.

Notes
The Higashi suffix and Arabic numerals together make Kita-Jūsan-Jō-Higashi one of the few Japanese stations whose name combines two compass directions with a numeric component.
