History

Tatsumigaoka Station opened on 10 July 1955, built by Meitetsu in step with a new residential development that lay in the tatsumi (south-east) direction as seen from Nagoya, in what is now Chita, Aichi Prefecture. A second station building on the east side was added in 1987, and the platforms were lengthened from six to eight cars at the same time. The west side was rebuilt in April 1996, the Tranpass system arrived on 14 July 2006, and platform-widening and accessibility works finished in October 2006. The manaca IC card began on 11 February 2011, Tranpass ended on 29 February 2012, and the station became wholly unstaffed on 1 July 2023.

Notes

The station's name officially keeps the older 1978 JIS form of the character 巽: when the characters in the station names Shin-Naka and Hyōtanyama were switched to their 1997 JIS forms in 2005, Tatsumigaoka's was left unchanged. Meitetsu's own website and tickets nonetheless write the name 巽ヶ丘, with the small ヶ, and the railway advises that both the old and the new forms are valid.
