• Trunk Line: Karashimacho ⇄ Kawaramachi (Kumamoto)

Keitokukō-mae opened in 1955 as a Kumamoto City tram stop on the Trunk Line; it is stop 7, served by the A-system. From 1 August 1924 to 28 December 1943 a Furukawa-machi station (古川町駅) operated near the present site. From 1 April 1959 to 21 February 1965 Keitokukō-mae was the starting point of the Kawajiri Line (operationally through-running to Karashima-chō). On 29 November 2024 a drunk-driven car rear-ended the stop's concrete buffer.

The stop takes its name from Kumamoto Municipal Keitoku Elementary School. The name itself goes back to the monk Keitoku, who founded Junshōji temple and dug a moat here; the moat and its surroundings came to be called "Keitoku-bori".
