History
Sukaguchi Station opened on 23 January 1914 on the Nagoya Electric Railway's Tsushima Line, becoming a junction on 22 September that year when the Kiyosu Line opened east toward Maru-no-uchi. Operating rights passed to Nagoya Railroad on 1 July 1921, and the layout was successively rearranged through line renamings in 1928, 1941 and 1948 until the present configuration as the meeting point of the Nagoya Main Line and Tsushima Line was settled. The platforms were rebuilt on a directional layout in July 1987 and an overhead concourse with a six-storey station-building tower entered service in April–July 1988. The station was inundated during the Tōkai flood of 11 September 2000, and Manaca IC ticketing began on 11 February 2011.

Notes
The name Sukaguchi literally means "the entrance to Kiyosu" — the station sits where the outer moat of Kiyosu Castle once ran, marking the historic edge of the castle town.
