History

Higashi Nagoyakō Station opened on 15 January 1924 as Nishi-Rokugō Station on the Aichi Electric Railway, taking its present name on 30 January 1932. The station was damaged in the 1944 Tōnankai earthquake and again in the air raid of 17 May 1945. Freight operations were sub-contracted to Nippon Express and the station de-staffed on 16 December 1985, and on 25 November 1990 the operating distance was shortened by 0.4 km when the kilometre datum was moved from the former freight yard to the present passenger platform. Tranpass arrived on 15 January 2005, supplanted by manaca in February 2011, and four-car trains began running on 3 October 2009.

Notes

Although Meitetsu withdrew regular freight handling here, the station is exceptionally retained as a temporary carload freight station: the non-electrified siding beyond the passenger platform, and the Nagoya Port Authority line it leads to, are still used as the arrival point for newly built rolling stock and for shipping vehicles out for overseas export.
