• Tosaden Kotsu Ino Line: Harimayabashi ⇄ Ohashidori

Horizume Station dates from the founding of the Tosaden Kōtsū tram network, opening on 2 May 1904, the day the first generation of Tosa Electric Railway began operating Kōchi's streetcars between Horizume and Noridashi. At the time, Horizume was the starting point of the Honmachi Line (本町線, the future Ino Line). When the Shioe Line (renamed the Sanbashi Line at the same time) was extended from Umenotsuji on 6 April 1906, Horizume became a junction; the further extension east to Shimoji on 31 October 1908 made it a three-way hub. That status only lasted until 1928, when the Enokuchi Line (today's Ekimae Line) and the Harimaya-bashi–Ushioe-bashi-kitazume section of the Sanbashi Line opened — the four-route hub then moved one stop east to Harimayabashi, and the old Horizume–Ushioe-bashi-kitazume section of the Sanbashi Line was abandoned. Horizume settled into its present life as an Ino-line intermediate stop. The Ino-bound platform was moved about 40 m towards Ino on 20 June 1977, and the stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

Horizume was Kōchi's central tram hub for twenty years: from the 1908 east-west extension until 1928, when the Ekimae and new Sanbashi-line tracks made Harimayabashi a four-way junction one block to the east, and the old Horizume-to-Ushioe-bashi route was abandoned.
