History
Ōe Station (TA03) is a junction stop on the Meitetsu Tokoname Line and the branch Meitetsu Chikkō Line in Kafuku-hondōri, Minami-ku, Nagoya, 3.8 km from the Tokoname Line's terminus at Jingū-mae. It opened on 10 May 1917 under the Aichi Electric Railway, was moved 0.1 mile toward Dōtoku on 16 April 1919 and again 0.5 mile on 15 January 1924 when the Chikkō Line opened and made Ōe a branching station; the Aichi Electric Railway merged with Nagoya Railway on 1 August 1935. A new station building opened on 15 December 2004, and on 29 January 2005 the station was added to the express train standard stopping pattern, with three early-morning weekday rapid expresses added on 26 March 2011. The Chikkō Line platform was extended to handle four-car trains on 3 October 2009, and the station became fully unstaffed on 21 December 2024.

Notes
New rolling stock arriving for Meitetsu — and for the Nagoya Municipal Subway Tsurumai and Sakura-dōri Lines — is hauled into Ōe by a Nagoya Rinkai Railway diesel locomotive during the daytime, inspected, and departs late at night under its own power or under electric haulage for the Toyoake depot or Mai-no-ki inspection works.
