History

Kamoike Station is a Kagoshima City Tram Taniyama Line tram stop in Kamoike 2-chōme, Kagoshima, served by Route 1. The stop was opened on 1 July 1915 by Kagoshima Electric Tramway, and its location was shifted on 10 November 1917; on 1 July 1928 it was transferred to the Kagoshima City Electric Bureau (today the Kagoshima City Transportation Bureau). It has two opposed side platforms; standard wheelchairs may use it, but powered wheelchairs are not permitted. The stop was formerly elevated, crossing through the former Kamoike Zoo, and it had its own station building until the end of the Shōwa 30s (about 1964); the building and the elevated structure were demolished when the segment was converted from dedicated right-of-way to a shared roadway tram.

Notes

Kamoike was formerly an elevated tram stop, crossing the former Kamoike Zoo on dedicated right-of-way, and it kept its own station building until the end of the Shōwa 30s (about 1964); both the elevated structure and the building were removed when the section was converted into a shared roadway tram.
