Meijo Koen

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Meijō Kōen Station opened on 20 December 1971 on the Nagoya Municipal Subway Meijō Line, in Meijō 2-chōme, Kita-ku, Nagoya. The station has one island platform underground serving two tracks, with platform-edge sliding gates entering service on 21 September 2020. The station number is M08, the accent colour brown. Although the closest stop to Nagoya Castle is now one station away — and was renamed Nagoyajō (formerly Shiyakusho) in 2023 expressly to reduce confusion — visitors heading to the castle had long been mistakenly alighting at Meijō Kōen because its kanji contained the castle's character. A refurbishment programme begun on 10 January 2023 is scheduled to add new exits, an elevator and a renewed concourse by late February 2025.

So many visitors mistakenly got off at Meijō Kōen on their way to Nagoya Castle — confused by the kanji for “castle” in the station name — that the city renamed the actually-nearest stop, Shiyakusho, to Nagoyajō Station in 2023 to head off the confusion at its source.
