History
Ōdōri Station opened on 16 December 1971 with the inaugural Kita-Nijūyo-Jō-to-Makomanai stretch of the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Namboku Line; structural preparations for the future Tōzai Line were already in place at opening. The Tōzai platforms came into service on 10 June 1976 with that line's Kotoni-to-Shiroishi opening, and the Tōhō platforms followed on 2 December 1988 with the Sakaemachi-to-Hōsui-Susukino segment. The 2-Chōme ticket gate was added in November 1996, and on 12 March 2011 the Sapporo Eki-Mae-Dōri underground walkway opened, joining Ōdōri to Sapporo Station. The Daidori-Kōryū-Kyoten redevelopment expanded the concourse and ran from August 2013 to February 2015.

Notes
Ōdōri's exits are numbered up to the 30s, but exit 21 has gone missing—the floor tile near exit 22 still reads '^21', a relic from the day the Tōhō Line opened and re-shuffled the numbering of the Aurora Town connection.
