History
Tagata-jinja-mae Station opened on 29 April 1931 as Kuboisshiki Station on the Meitetsu Komaki Line in what is today the city of Komaki, Aichi Prefecture. It was suspended in 1944 during wartime austerity, then reopened under its present name on 10 March 1965 — the name now referencing the nearby Tagata Shrine. A prefabricated single-storey station building opened on 24 September 1976 alongside its first staffing. Automatic ticket gates were installed in March 1993, and on March 2002 the layout was rebuilt from a single-track halt to two opposed side platforms suitable for crossings. The Manaca IC card became usable on 11 February 2011. The window office closed at 19:00 on 31 July 2021 and the station became unstaffed the next day.

Notes
The station is the closest stop to Tagata Shrine, whose Hōnen Matsuri fertility festival each March brings tens of thousands of visitors through its gates in a single day.
