History
Sengen-chō Station (T05) opened on 27 November 1981 on the Nagoya Municipal Subway Tsurumai Line, in Sengen 1-chōme, Nishi-ku, Nagoya. The underground station consists of two opposed side platforms set roughly 21 m below ground level — when it opened it was the deepest station in the Nagoya subway network, a record it kept until the Sakura-dōri Line opened. The unusual depth was a consequence of being built underneath a shared utility tunnel and of provisions that anticipated the Nagoya Expressway No.6 Kiyosu Route passing underground. Platform-edge doors are scheduled to enter service on 10 February 2025.

Notes
When it opened in 1981 Sengen-chō was the deepest station on the Nagoya subway — about 21 m below street level — because it was built beneath a shared utility tunnel with provisions for a never-built expressway underground.
