History
Nagoya Daigaku Station opened on 13 December 2003 in Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, as a Meijō Line stop on the Nagoya Municipal Subway. The platforms sit roughly 22 metres below the surface, beneath the campus of Nagoya University whose Higashiyama campus it primarily serves. When the station first opened it was the line's terminus, with one platform used only for boarding and the other only for alighting; arriving trains reversed via a stabling track south of the station. The Meijō Line was extended to Aratamabashi on 6 October 2004, completing the line's loop and making Nagoya Daigaku an intermediate station. Platform-edge doors entered service on 29 November 2020 (track 2) and 6 December 2020 (track 1).

Notes
At roughly 22 metres below ground the platforms here are the third-deepest in the Nagoya Municipal Subway, after Marunouchi and Motoyama on the Sakura-dōri Line — a consequence of the Nagoya Expressway No. 2 (Higashiyama) crossing directly above.
