History

Higashi-Shukugō Station (no. 02) is an Utsunomiya Light Rail Utsunomiya-Haga LRT Line tram stop in Higashi-shukugō, Utsunomiya. The stop's name was decided on 23 April 2021, replacing the provisional working title "Shukugō-chō". It opened on 26 August 2023 with the rest of the line, and on opening day a parade was held between Daiwa Roynet Hotel-mae and the stop to coincide with the inaugural special-train service. The stop has a staggered two-platform layout adjoining the Higashi-shukugō Intersection — the Haga-Takanezawa-direction platform sits east of the intersection and the Utsunomiya Station East-direction platform sits west of it. Construction was carried out by Masken.

Notes

Through the planning phase the placeholder name "Higashi-Shukugō" belonged to the next stop east, now Ekihigashi-kōen-mae, while this stop was provisionally called "Shukugō-chō". When the final names were settled on 23 April 2021, "Higashi-Shukugō" was given instead to this stop, which adjoins the Higashi-shukugō Intersection.
