History
Dōtoku Station opened on 18 February 1912 as a stop on the Aichi Electric Railway, which merged into the Nagoya Railroad in August 1935. The station was suspended in 1944 and the original building was damaged in the Nagoya air raid of 17 May 1945, before service resumed on 1 October 1949. An overbridge station building was completed in December 1980, and the line was elevated in two stages in 1983 and 1984. Automatic fare gates arrived in May 1987, with Tranpass following on 15 January 2005 and manaca on 11 February 2011. Step-free access via elevator was added in March 2007.

Notes
The Toyoda-honmachi district that the previous station up the line was named for surrounds Dōtoku Station rather than its namesake, an inversion that has persisted since the neighbouring district was officially abolished in 1985.
