Location

History

Komaba-shako-mae Stop (DY04) is on the Hakodate City Tram Yunokawa Line in Komaba-machi, Hakodate, Hokkaidō. The adjoining Komaba Depot was completed on 27 December 1934 — built on the site of the former Kashiwano Baseball Ground (home of the Hakodate Taiyō Club) to replace the Shinkawa Depot lost in the Hakodate Great Fire. Initially called Kashiwano-Shako after the local place name, the depot's offices, workshops, electricity-substation and traffic-control functions were progressively centralised here as the Kashiwagi-chō and Yanagawa-chō depots were closed in 1973–1974, and on 7 October 2002 the management and transport divisions moved into a newly built office block in the depot grounds. Today the depot's main inbound–outbound spurs run east and west from the depot site and join the main line on either side.

Notes

The platform at the Yunokawa end of Komaba-shako-mae is the longer of the two, sized to allow vehicles to be swapped for inspections, breakdowns and schedule adjustments; the stopping position differs between Yunokawa-bound trams and trams terminating at Komaba, and Yunokawa-bound trams normally change crews here.
