• Hakodate Tram Main Line: Ōmachi (Hokkaido)

Hakodate-dock-mae Stop (D23) is on the Hakodate City Tram Honsen (Main) Line in Irifune-chō, Hakodate, Hokkaidō — the westernmost stop in Hakodate and indeed in Hokkaidō. It opened on 30 October 1913 as Bentenmachi Stop, was renamed Benten at some unrecorded date, became Hakodate Dock-mae Stop on 1 July 1965 and Hakodate Dotsuku-mae Stop on 1 November 1985. The shelter on the boarding platform mounts a clock on its Ōmachi side, with a presentation plate behind it commemorating a donation of 1 December 1997.

The kanji 'つ' in the stop name is intentionally written in big-character form (どつく) but pronounced doubled (dokku) — "Hakodate-Dokku-mae" — because Hakodate Dock changed its registered company name to use the bigger-character spelling in 1984 when it was bought by Ehime-capital-based Kurushima Group, and the stop name followed suit.
