It runs from Nakamura Kuyakusho, Nakamura Ward to Tokushige, Midori Ward, all within Nagoya. The Sakura-dōri Line's color on maps is red. In 2004, the city started to change all station signs. The new signs have a station name followed by a single letter and a number. In the case of Sakura-dōri Line, the letter is S. Officially, the line is called Nagoya City Rapid Railway Line 6 (名古屋市高速度鉄道第6号線 Nagoya-shi Kōsokudo Tetsudō Dai-roku-gō-sen ). All the stations accept Tranpass, a prepaid magnetic card, which is being phased out this year in favor of another fare card called manaca, which is accepted by all stations as well.
The line opened its first section in 1989. Between Nagoya and Imaike, the line runs under Sakura-dōri Avenue, being the bypass line of Higashiyama Line. This is the only Nagoya Municipal Subway line that uses ATO system.

There is also a plan to extend the line to opposite direction, from Nakamura Kuyakusho to somewhere in Shippō Town.
