History
Kakuōzan Station opened on 1 April 1963 on the Nagoya Municipal Subway's Higashiyama Line, in Chikusa-ku. The station replaced an earlier tram stop on the city's Kakuōzan tram line, which had operated from 1911 to ferry visitors to the Kakuōzan Nittai-ji Buddhist temple and was abandoned when the subway opened. Barrier-free works were carried out in 2004, the manaca IC card came into use on 11 February 2011, and platform-screen doors were activated on 14 December 2015. The east concourse and ticket gates lie below the tracks because of the road gradient and are closed in the early morning and at night.
Notes
The tunnel between Kakuōzan and Ikeshita, immediately west of the station, was the first urban subway tunnel in Japan driven with a circular-cross-section shield, and it laid the technical groundwork for later Japanese shield-driven tunnels.
