History
Fujigaoka Station opened on 1 April 1969 as the terminus of the Nagoya Municipal Subway Higashiyama Line, originally written with a different kana. On 6 October 2004 it was respelled to match the surrounding place names. On 6 March 2005 the Aichi Rapid Transit Tōbu Kyūryō Line (Linimo) opened its own Fujigaoka Station, making the site a transfer point between the Higashiyama Line (station H22) and Linimo (station L01). The manaca IC card began service on the subway and the city and Meitetsu buses on 11 February 2011. Platform-edge gates entered service on 29 February 2016, completing the rollout across the Higashiyama Line, and manaca acceptance on Linimo followed on 12 March 2016.

Notes
Fujigaoka is unusual in pairing an elevated subway with an underground monorail — the Higashiyama Line built its 1969 platforms above ground while still-vacant, whereas Linimo had to go underground in 2005 because development of the area had made surface routing impossible and the hillside geography ruled out a viable elevated alignment.
