Genbaku-Shiryokan

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

Genbaku-Shiryōkan opened on 9 July 1920 as Hamaguchi on the Nagasaki Electric Tramway Main Line, and was renamed Hamaguchi-machi at a date the sources leave uncertain, said to be around the end of the Taishō era or the start of the Shōwa era. Like the rest of the system it went out of service after the 9 August 1945 atomic bombing; when the Urakami-eki-mae – Ōhashi section reopened on 16 May 1947, the stretch from Urakami-eki-mae to this stop was rebuilt on a straight alignment under the city plan and the old private right-of-way, which had curved east behind housing, was abandoned. In 1990 the Nagasaki Seiyōkan opened with the tracks passing through its building — a unique sight on the network — and on 15 October 2006 it became the first Nagasaki tramway stop to have the track within it turfed. It was renamed Genbaku-Shiryōkan on 1 August 2018 after the adjacent Atomic Bomb Museum, and is stop number 20.

Between this stop and Heiwa-kōen the tracks dive into the former Nagasaki Seiyōkan retail complex, which closed in May 2023; Nagasaki Electric Tramway has said that any demolition or refurbishment of the building would be conditional on keeping the line through it running safely.
