Taiko-dori Station (太閤通駅, Taikō-dōri-eki, lit. "Taiko Street") is a train station in Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.[1]

It was opened on 10 September 1989; 35 years ago (1989-09-10) as Nakamura Kuyakusho Station (中村区役所駅). However, with the relocation of Nakamura Ward Office,[2] the station was renamed to its present name on 4 January 2023.[3]

The name derives from the Taikō-dōri main street, which is named after the area Taikō. This in turn is named after the taikō Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who hailed from the Owari region.
