• Kintetsu Nagoya Line: Tsu-Shinmachi ⇄ Hisai

Minamigaoka Station opened on 28 April 1989 on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line in Tsu, Mie Prefecture, sited 71.5 kilometres from Kintetsu Nagoya. It was added to serve the new Tsu Minami-ga-oka residential development that Kintetsu was building on the surrounding hills, between the existing Tsu-Shimmachi and Hisai stations. Until then the area — then called Aotani — had been an out-of-the-way, quiet spot with a crematorium nearby; the new station took its name from the brighter "Minami-ga-oka" hill image rather than that older place-name. It is the newest station on the Nagoya Line. Express stops were added in March 2018; PiTaPa support began in 2007.

Between 1946 and 1953 the spot now occupied by the station served as Futaike Signal Box, where the Nagoya Line transitioned between single and double track.
