History
Takaida Station opened on 5 April 1985, coinciding with the Osaka Municipal Subway Chūō Line extension between Fukaebashi and Nagata. On 15 March 2008 the JR Osaka Higashi Line's Takaida-Chūō Station opened directly above this station, making Takaida a transfer point. With the privatisation of the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau on 1 April 2018, the station passed to Osaka Metro. Platform screen doors went into service on 8 September 2024.

Notes
The Chūō Line Takaida Station and the JR Osaka Higashi Line's Takaida-Chūō Station sit directly atop one another but have no internal connecting passage; passengers transfer between them at street level. The Osaka City Bus stop named simply "Takaida" is about 2 km southwest of the station, at the historic southwestern edge of the old Takaida village area — most of what was locally called "Takaida" before this station opened was in fact in that southwestern district, where the famous Takaida ramen shops are concentrated.
