History

Tsuboigawa-kōen Station opened on 9 January 1995 on the Kikuchi Line of Kumamoto Electric Railway, located in Chūō-ku of Kumamoto City. The stop was built to serve the new Tsuboigawa Flood Control Park and Tsuboigawa Green Space that were under development at the time, providing a local-train halt on the private line linking Kami-Kumamoto with Mido. The station sits 2.6 km from the Kami-Kumamoto terminus and consists of a single side platform at grade with no station building, an unattended stop equipped with an entry-side IC card reader after the operator adopted the regional Kumamon IC CARD on 1 April 2015. Station numbering KD05 was introduced on 1 October 2019.

Notes

Although named for an adjacent flood-control park, the station's nearest cultural draw is the prefecturally designated Inariyama Kofun, a tumulus that sits a short walk from the platform.
