Sunadabashi

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

The Nagoya Municipal Subway Meijō Line section eastwards from Ōzone was originally planned to open all the way to Nagoya University as part of a single Ōzone - Aratamabashi extension. After Nagoya Dome was decided to open in 1997, however, the Ōzone - Sunadabashi section was brought forward, and Sunadabashi Station opened on 19 January 2000 as a temporary terminus. The Meijō Line was extended to Nagoya University Station on 13 December 2003. Platform screen doors entered service on 2 November 2020. On the Nagoya Guideway Bus Shidami Line (Yutorito Line), the station opened on 23 March 2001. At the subway opening, only platform 1 was used for turnback service and platform 2 was used solely as an alighting platform for terminating trains that would then deadhead onward.

The station name comes from a former bridge near the present Sunadabashi intersection. The Daikō River that once flowed beneath that bridge was put underground when Nagoya Municipal Road Daikō Line was widened (today the river is a culvert beneath the south sidewalk of the road), so the bridge no longer exists. A municipal address reorganisation carried out between 1975 and 1984 created a new district called Sunadabashi in the eastern half of the former Higashi-ku Daikō-chō, and the place-name survives there today. The subway station is underground (Meijō Line station number M14, accent colour lime green) with two opposed side platforms; the double crossover on the Nagoya Dome-mae Yada side remains in place after the 2003 extension to Nagoya University and the 2004 conversion of the Meijō Line to a loop. The Yutorito Line uses two elevated opposed side platforms (Y03), with no staff on duty and with elevators from the platforms to ground level at both the north and south exits; the escalator on the up-direction platform 2 is the only down-only escalator among the line's intermediate stations apart from Ōzone. The 1st and 3rd exits cut into the grounds of the Aichi University of Education Affiliated Nagoya Junior High School and of Nagoya Junior and Senior High School respectively.
