History
Nishi Takakura Station opened on 30 March 1974 as a station on what was then designated Line 4 of the Nagoya Municipal Subway, in Atsuta-ku, Nagoya. The station sits beneath the Nishi-Takakura intersection on Fushimi-dōri (National Route 19), beside the western approach to Kōza-Musubu-Mikoto Shrine, the source of its name. Following the opening of the 1994 Nagoya International Conference Hall nearby, escalators were installed and the entrance designs were renewed. The line was renamed the Meijō Line on 6 October 2004 with the completion of the Nagoya-University–Aratamabashi extension, and accessibility upgrades were completed in 2010. Platform-edge doors were activated on 15 March 2021.
