Location

History

Matsukaze-chō Stop (DY16) is on the Hakodate City Tram in Matsukaze-chō, Hakodate, Hokkaidō, on the Yunokawa Line (and until 1992 also a junction with the Shinonome Line). It opened on 30 October 1913 as Daimon-mae Stop, was renamed Matsukaze-chō after 1945, lost its Shinonome Line connection on 1 April 1992 when that line was abolished, and was rebuilt between 9 September and 28 November 2017, work that moved the outbound platform about 60 m north toward the Shinkawa-chō-side intersection and changed the layout from opposed (sōtai-shiki) to staggered (chidori-shiki) platforms. Both platforms were rebuilt to the same barrier-free design as Chūō-byōin-mae Stop — an effective width of 1.5 m, shelters and windscreens, handrails, seating and ramps with road heating, large information boards and LED lighting.

Notes

Matsukaze-chō was a junction with the Shinonome Line, which reached it from Hōraichō by way of Rōdō-kaikan-mae, until 31 March 1992; after that line was abolished on 1 April 1992 the stop has been served only by the Yunokawa Line and the Ōmori Line, which are operated as a single through service.
