History
Sakurayama Station opened on 30 March 1994 as a station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway's Sakura-dōri Line, located beneath the Sakurayama intersection on the border of Mizuho-ku and Shōwa-ku in Nagoya. The site had previously hosted a tram stop of the same name on the city tram network, but the underground station's centre lies on the Mizuho-ku side. Of its eight surface entrances, four open onto Shōwa-ku and four onto Mizuho-ku. Movable platform-edge doors entered service on 4 June 2011, and an in-station waiting room — the first on the Sakura-dōri Line — was completed on 5 December 2020.

Concourse murals depict the older trams and streetscape that occupied the Sakurayama intersection before the subway was built, including the city tram station that once shared the name.
