context_page_description: Meitetsu Nagoya Station is the principal station of the Nagoya Railroad system in Nagoya, Japan. Most trains of Meitetsu's major lines operate through this station. The station is also a gateway to the Chūbu Centrair International Airport, which is connected with the station by the Rapid Express service started on January 29, 2005.
  This station is built under the Meitetsu Department Store, therefore the station area is very narrow for the large number of passengers, but it is technically difficult to enlarge the station due to the limited and complicated underground area. Therefore, at this station, passengers' waiting spots are separated by destination. Passengers are required to wait at their spot to go.
  The station is adjacent to JR Central's Nagoya Station, the city's central station, and Kintetsu Nagoya Station, the terminal of the Kintetsu Nagoya Line.
context_section_description: The station opened on August 12, 1941 and was known as Shin Nagoya Station (新名古屋駅, Shin Nagoya eki) until it was renamed in early 2005.
  A station refurbishment project including the construction of two new platforms in order to increase the station capacity will be completed by 2027, the year that the maglev Shinkansen is expected to be put into operation.
