History

Tokushige-Nagoya-Geidai Station opened on 6 August 1912 as Tokushige Station on what is now the Meitetsu Inuyama Line in present-day Kitanagoya, Aichi Prefecture. Wartime austerity closed the stop in 1944 and it reopened as unstaffed on 15 September 1946; a contracted station-keeper returned on 10 February 1967. The platform was extended to six cars in 1975, and a footbridge-style building was completed on 25 December 1980. Following requests from Nagoya University of the Arts and the former town of Nishiharu, the stop was renamed to its current hyphenated form on 29 January 2005. Barrier-free work in 2009–2010 added ground-level buildings on each platform, and weekends and holidays have been fully unstaffed since 1 March 2022.

Notes

Because the post-2005 name comes to eight characters when written with the kanji and the centred dot, station-name signs on Meitetsu series 3500 LED indicators scroll the text rather than displaying it whole.
