Asahidori

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Asahi-dōri opened on 3 October 1914 on the Kagoshima Electric Tramway, transferred to the Kagoshima Municipal Electricity Bureau on 1 July 1928, to the City Transportation Section on 26 January 1933, and to the City Transportation Bureau on 1 October 1952. Before the war the Kanmachi Line branched off here. Wartime damage suspended the branch and post-war it was rebuilt branching off Shiyakusho-mae instead; the surviving spur was retained as a turn-back siding for rush-hour terminating services here until eventually removed. The street name comes from the pre-war offices of the Kagoshima Asahi Shimbun (a predecessor of the Minaminippon Shimbun) located on it. The platforms are split across National Route 58 (Asahi-dōri itself).

Despite tram-stop names in Kagoshima City normally matching their adjacent bus stop, here the nearest bus stop is named Kinseichō rather than Asahi-dōri. The two names once matched, but when the site was converted to a shared bus stop the bus stop alone was renamed Kinseichō, because there was no bus stop on Asahi-dōri itself.
