History

Myōkōji Station opened on 3 February 1924 on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line; the name was taken from the nearby Myōkō Zen monastery Myōkō-Hōon-ji. The station became unstaffed sometime before 1 November 1948, and the tracks were elevated on 21 February 1993. Even after elevation the station sits on consecutive 1,000-metre-radius curves between Kō-no-miya and Meitetsu-Ichinomiya, with the result that trains stop with their leading car aligned to the platform end regardless of formation length. Transpas was introduced in spring 2003 along with a remote-monitoring control system, and manaca acceptance began on 11 February 2011.
