• Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line: Higashi-Biwajima ⇄ Meitetsu Nagoya

Sakō Station, on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line in Nishi-ku, Nagoya, opened on 12 August 1941. The station building has been rebuilt twice — first on 25 August 1957, and again on 17 December 1996 when the platforms were lengthened from six-car to eight-car capacity and the first elevators were installed. Express trains began stopping from the timetable revision of 29 January 2005, and stopping frequencies rose further on 27 December 2008 when most weekday rapid-express runs were merged into the express category. On 24 September 2015 the Meitetsu Hospital gate, directly connecting the station with the hospital concourse, was reopened with new elevators. The station is directly attached to Meitetsu Hospital and the station nameplate carries the supplementary name "Meitetsu Byōin-mae."

Around twenty of the columns supporting the platform canopy — all of them away from the stairs — are re-used old rail, most of it Carnegie-mark steel rolled in 1897.
