History

The Higashiyama Line was the first underground rapid transit line in Nagoya, and it opened initially on 15 November 1957 with three stations. The three stations were Nagoya Station, Fushimimachi Station (now {{STN|Fushimi|x|Aichi}}), and Sakaemachi Station (now {{STN|Sakae|x|Aichi}}). At first, the subway had six 100 series EMU trainsets, formed with two cars per set.

The line was extended from Sakaemachi (now Sakae) to {{STN|Ikeshita|x}} on June 15, 1960, from Ikeshita to {{STN|Higashiyama Kōen|x|Aichi}} on April 1, 1963, from {{STN|Higashiyama Kōen|x|Aichi}} to {{STN|Hoshigaoka|x|Aichi}} on March 30, 1967.

The line was simultaneously extended from Nagoya to {{STN|Nakamura Kōen|x}} and from {{STN|Hoshigaoka|x|Aichi}} to its current eastern terminus of {{STN|Fujigaoka|x|Aichi}} on April 1, 1969. The line was further extended from {{STN|Nakamura Kōen|x}} to its present western terminus of {{STN|Takabata|x}} on September 21, 1982, and with that was completed as the line which operates today.{{Citation |last=佐藤 |first=信之 |script-title=ja:地下鉄の歴史首都圏・中部・近畿圏 |date=19 June 2004 |publisher=グランプリ出版 |language=ja |isbn=4-87687-260-0 }}

  • 300/800 series (1967-2000)
  • 5000 series (July 1980 – August 2015)

The 250, 300 and 700 series trains were later sold to Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad, where they were refurbished and reclassified as Kotoden 600 series (former 250/700 series) and Kotoden 700 series (former 300 series), and to the Argentinian transport company Metrovías S.A., where they serve Line C of the Buenos Aires Metro.

The last remaining 5000 series train in service was withdrawn following a special final run on 30 August 2015.{{cite web |url= http://railf.jp/news/2015/08/31/204000.html|script-title=ja: 名古屋市交通局で5000形車両引退記念イベント |trans-title= Nagoya Transportation Bureau stages 5000 series retirement event|date= 31 August 2015|work= Japan Railfan Magazine Online|publisher= Koyusha Co., Ltd.|location= Japan|language= ja|access-date= 31 August 2015}}
