Medical Center

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

Medical Center opened on 27 December 1916 as Suishi-bashi, named for a bridge that once stood here and that was itself named because this was the place from which soldiers departed for the front during the Russo-Japanese War. The stop was abolished on the wartime express timetable in January 1944 and reopened in February 1949. When the Suishi Bridge was removed in 1961, the tramway tracks were relocated; on 5 October 1961 the stop on the old alignment was closed and re-established on the new line under the name Shimin-Byōin-mae ("City Hospital Front"). On 17 June 1990 the platforms were shifted 0.1 km toward Tsuki-machi, and on 1 August 2018 the stop was renamed Medical Center after the Nagasaki Minato Medical Centre. It is stop number 47 on the Ōura Branch Line.

A monument in front of the hospital recalls that Thomas Glover ran Japan's first railway — an experimental line — on this site; it is inscribed "Our Country's Birthplace of Railways".
