Heiwa-koen

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

Heiwa-kōen opened on 25 December 1933 as Matsuyama-machi when the Nagasaki Electric Tramway Main Line was extended from the now-closed Shimo-no-Kawa to Ōhashi. The stop was the tramway's closest to the 9 August 1945 atomic-bomb hypocentre, and the Hamaguchi-machi – Ōhashi segment that contains it suffered the heaviest damage on the network; the line was restored on 16 May 1947. The platform layout was changed in 1961 to accommodate the type-360 cars, the canopy was replaced with a shelter on 19 February 2000, and on 1 August 2018 the stop took its current name after the adjacent Peace Park. It is stop number 19 on the Main Line.

For the peace memorial ceremony held each 9 August, a fare-collection attendant is posted at the stop to take fares on the platform, which eases crowding and lets passengers alight through the normal boarding door as well.
