History
Yagoto Nisseki Station opened on 6 October 2004 as a Meijō Line stop in Nagoya's Shōwa Ward, taking its name from the Japanese Red Cross Aichi Medical Center Nagoya Daini Hospital (Yagoto Nisseki) that sits next to the platform-level exits. The station lies on the Yagoto hillside, leaving an unusually long concourse-to-street walk, and one exit incorporates a clinic building. Platform-edge doors were installed on Track 2 on 13 December 2020 and on Track 1 on 20 December 2020. Patient and student traffic — Nanzan University's main campus is nearby — drove daily boardings from 3,633 at opening to 7,219 in fiscal 2017.

Notes
Yagoto Nisseki's hilltop placement means its concourse-to-platform walk is unusually long for a subway station, and the building's interior is finished in brick-style tile and limestone in deference to its hillside setting.
