• Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line: Meitetsu Nagoya ⇄ Kanayama (Aichi)

Sannō Station opened on 1 September 1944 on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line in Nakagawa-ku, Nagoya. Its station building was damaged by air raids in May 1945. In September 1956 it was renamed Chūnichi-kyūjō-mae, then Nagoya-kyūjō-mae in January 1976, reflecting its role as the closest stop to Nagoya Stadium, then home of the Chunichi Dragons. After the Dragons moved to Nagoya Dome in 1997, ridership fell and the station became unstaffed in 2004. On 29 January 2005, after 49 years, the station name was restored to Sannō. Barrier-free upgrades followed in 2008 and manaca IC service began in 2011.

During its years as Nagoya-kyūjō-mae the station carried a large baseball-shaped signboard on its north-side roof, removed only at the start of 2005 just before the rename took effect.
