• Meitetsu Seto Line: Higashiote

Sakaemachi Station opened on 20 August 1978 at Higashi-Sakura 1-chōme, Higashi-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, as the new Sakaemachi terminus of the Meitetsu Seto Line; it has had automatic ticket gates since opening. Before Sakaemachi opened, the line had terminated at Horikawa Station on the banks of the Horikawa river and at Ōtsumachi Station near Nagoya City Hall; from 1976 to 1978, Doi-shita Station served as a temporary terminus while construction proceeded. In-station smoking was prohibited from 1 April 1985. The Tranpass magnetic card came into service on 16 December 2006, the manaca IC card on 11 February 2011, and Tranpass operation ended on 29 February 2012. Renovation of the platforms — adding an elevator, accessible toilet, station air-conditioning, and a platform-raising — finished on 31 October 2007.

Sakaemachi is the busiest station on the Meitetsu Seto Line and the third-busiest on the entire Meitetsu network after Meitetsu-Nagoya and Kanayama; it is also the busiest Meitetsu station outside the Nagoya Main Line, and the busiest at which no limited express service — Mu Sky and Rapid Limited Express included — starts or terminates. The platforms are deeper than the Higashiyama Line's Sakae platforms but slightly shallower than the Meijō Line ones, and the station is connected by underground passages and shopping arcades (Sakae Mori-no-Chika-gai and Central Park) to Nagoya Subway Sakae and Hisaya-ōdōri Stations.
