History
Jiyūgaoka Station opened on 13 December 2003 in Chikusa Ward, Nagoya, with the completion of the Sakae-machi–Nagoyadaigaku extension that closed the loop of the Meijō Line. Its working name during planning was Chigusadai, after the local junior high school that previously occupied the site of the present station plaza. The station has station number M16, an accent colour of orange, and provides access to Heiwa Park, the Aichi Prefectural Shiroyama Hospital and the Aichi Cancer Center Hospital. Platform-edge doors entered service in two stages, on 16 November and 23 November 2020. The station is operated by the Sakae-area district office for the northern Meijō Line.

Notes
Because the station lies on the slope its name suggests, the platforms sit roughly 19 m below the surface — unusually deep for the Meijō Line — and the entrance staircases and escalators are correspondingly long.
