Namidabashi Station is a Kagoshima City Tram Taniyama Line tram stop in Kōrimoto 3-chōme, Kagoshima, serving Route 1. South of the stop the line becomes dedicated right-of-way running alongside JR Kyushu's Ibusuki Makurazaki Line. The stop opened on 3 November 1917 under Kagoshima Electric Tramway as Kōrimoto Station and was transferred on 1 July 1928 to the Kagoshima City Electric Bureau (today the Kagoshima City Transportation Bureau); on 28 December 1928 the route was converted from light railway to tramway and the stop became a tram stop. It was renamed Shinkawa Station on 1 October 1959, and Namidabashi Station on 1 January 1967. A 1990 decision to rebuild the Namidabashi bridge added the Kōrimoto–Namidabashi section to the centre-pole-conversion plan; the section was centre-poled in 1992.

The Kōrimoto–Namidabashi section remained dedicated right-of-way until it was added to the centre-pole conversion plan in 1990, the conversion itself following in 1992; the Kamoike–Namidabashi sub-section had been elevated until the Shōwa 20s, a vestige of which can still be seen as an unnatural step between the gently graded track toward Kōrimoto and the road beside it — the site of the old elevated approach.
