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.[1] Therefore, at this station, passengers' waiting spots are separated by destination. Passengers are required to wait at their spot to go.[2]
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.[3]
There are 7 ticket gates at Meitetsu Nagoya Station, including the Central Ticket Gate, West Ticket Gate, South Ticket Gate, North Ticket Gate, East Ticket Gate, New South Ticket Gate and Kintetsu Connection Ticket Gate.
The Central Ticket Gate, West Ticket Gate, and South Ticket Gate are located in the Meitetsu station building, and the North Ticket Gate can be accessed from the Gatewalk Underground Shopping Mall.
The East Ticket Gate and New South Ticket Gate are only for entrance to Platform 4. The East Ticket Gate is near the underground lottery sales kiosk, and the New South Ticket Gate is at the back of the Meitetsu department store underground food section.
The Kintetsu connection ticket gate connects Platform 1 to the Kintetsu Nagoya Station platforms.

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, just prior to the opening of Chubu Centrair International Airport.[4]
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 Chōō Shinkansen had been expected to be put into operation.[5]
