Station history

Aichidaigakumae Station was established on April 25, 1924, as Shidanguchi Station (師団口駅, Shindanguchi-eki) on the privately-held Atsumi Railroad. The station name, meaning "Division entrance", derived from its proximity to the main gate of the Imperial Japanese Army, originally garrisoned by the 15th Division. On September 1, 1940, the Atsumi Railway became part of the Nagoya Railway system, and the station name was changed to Takashiguchi Station (高師口駅, Takashiguchi-eki) on November 1, 1943, for reasons of military security. The station was closed on June 5, 1944.

It was reopened on April 1, 1968, as a station of the Toyohashi Railway as Daigakumae Station (大学前駅, Daigakumae-eki) to serve the nearby campus of Aichi University. The station name changed to its present name on January 29, 2005.

Passenger statistics
