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

The tram stop opened in 1915 as Take-eki-mae, fronting the then-named Take Station, which had opened in 1913 as a station on the Sendai Line. When the railway station was renamed Nishi-Kagoshima in 1927, the tram stop followed suit, becoming Nishi-Kagoshima-ekimae in 1928. On 13 March 2004 the JR station became Kagoshima-Chūō to coincide with the partial opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen, and the tram stop adopted its current name in tandem. The Kagoshima City Tram's Second-Phase Line and Tōsō Line meet here, and the two lines are operated together as Route 2. The platforms front the city's primary intercity transport hub — the Kyushu Shinkansen, JR conventional lines, and major bus routes converge here, and more than 270 shops are concentrated in the commercial complexes on the station site, among them AMU Plaza Kagoshima.
