Jingū-mae Station opened on 31 August 1913 as the terminus of the Aichi Electric Railway, in Atsuta-ku, Nagoya, immediately east of Atsuta Shrine. With the railway's extension on 7 March 1917 it became the Nagoya-side terminus of what is now the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line and the start of the Tokoname Line. A west-side entrance opened in 1934 and was rebuilt as a parallel west station in 1942; that platform was closed in 1965 once through-running to Shin-Nagoya took over. The current bridge-style station building dates from 1978, and platform reconfiguration from path-based to direction-based layouts came in 1984. Through quadruple-tracking to Kanayama was completed on 1 April 1990.

In 1984 a bomb threat closed the station for two days and cost it an estimated US$200 in lost revenue, a striking footnote to a stop now run as one of Meitetsu's busiest interchanges.
