The name became Aichi-daigaku-mae on 29 January 2005 and a redesigned platform entered service that May. manaca IC card support was added on 11 February 2011.

Notes
The improved-access ticket gate sits literally next to the gate of Aichi University's Toyohashi campus, and part of the platform extends inside the university grounds. There is a dedicated south exit reserved for university affiliates; it opens only on weekdays and Saturdays during the academic term and on examination days, and stays closed on Sundays, public holidays, and long university recesses. Between Aichi-daigaku-mae and Koike the line dives into the Koike Tunnel to clear National Route 259 and Aichi Prefectural Route 502.
