History
The Nagasaki Electric Tramway Main Line opened the predecessor of this stop on 16 November 1915 when service began between Byōin-shita and Tsukimachi. The original platform stood slightly south of the present location and the line then curved east on a private right-of-way to Daigaku-byōin. The route was destroyed in the 9 August 1945 atomic bombing — the stop being about 1 km from the hypocentre — and the segment was rebuilt in a straight north–south alignment that reopened on 16 May 1947. The platform was relocated to its present position on 1 February 1954, rebuilt on 10 March 2000, and gained a pedestrian crossing on 7 December 2004. The stop sits across the plaza from JR Kyushu's Urakami Station and is number 22 on the Main Line.
Notes
Originally accessed only via a pedestrian footbridge, the stop gained a street-level crossing on 7 December 2004 to improve accessibility, and the bridge was later removed.
