History
Taikō-dōri Station opened on 10 September 1989 as Nakamura-Kuyakusho (Nakamura Ward Office) Station with the new Sakuradōri Line section between Nakamura-Kuyakusho and Imaike, in Taikō-dōri 3-chōme, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya. The line's opening ceremony was held at this station. The station sits beneath the Taikō-dōri 3-chōme intersection where Taikō-dōri meets the city's Loop Route, on the site of the former Nagoya City Tram Nakamura Line stop Taikō-dōri 3-chōme that operated until 1972. Platform-edge gates entered service on 22 January 2011. When the Nakamura ward office relocated to the area around Honjin Station, the station was renamed Taikō-dōri on 4 January 2023, a name chosen after deliberation by the city's subway station-name consultation panel and a public consultation. The station is a terminus, with three stabling sidings on the side opposite Nagoya.

Notes
The site of the present station was a Nagoya City Tram stop named Taikō-dōri 3-chōme until the tram system closed in 1972; the 2023 station renaming therefore restored a name that had vanished from local maps for half a century.
