Location

History

Hoshigaoka Station, on the Nagoya Municipal Subway's Higashiyama Line in Chikusa-ku, opened on 30 March 1967 with the extension from Higashiyama-kōen. It became an intermediate station two years later, on 1 April 1969, when the line was extended to Fujigaoka. Manaca IC fares began on 11 February 2011 and platform-edge doors entered service on 31 January 2016. In May 2021 a roughly one-metre-square section of ceiling finish material — weighing an estimated 13.5 kg — fell to the platform; no injuries were reported, but visual annual inspections had failed to detect the defect.

Notes

Among Nagoya Municipal Subway stations with no transfer connections, Hoshigaoka is the second-busiest after Yabachō, and it carries more daily riders than transfer stations such as Imaike. The surrounding shopping district is centred on the Nagoya Mitsukoshi Hoshigaoka store and the Hoshigaoka Terrace retail complex.
