Nichūdōri Station is a Kagoshima City Tram Taniyama Line tram stop in Kōrai-machi, Kagoshima, served by Route 1. The stop was opened on 9 June 1929 by the Kagoshima City Electric Bureau as Nichūdōri Station; on 1 September 1949 it was renamed Kōtsūbu-mae, and on 1 October 1952 it became Kōtsū-kyoku-mae when the city's Transportation Section was renamed the Transportation Bureau. Because the bureau's main offices, long located in Kōrai-machi, were relocated to Kami-arata-chō together with Kagoshima City Hospital on 1 May 2015, the stop was renamed Nichūdōri Station once again that day; on the same day the new closest stop to the bureau, Shinden, was renamed Shinden (Kōtsū-kyoku-mae). From 1 January 2023, naming-rights partner Nangoku Shokusan added the sub-name "Nichūdōri (Kirameki Terrace-mae)". The stop has two side platforms with approach indicators and announcements, and is unstaffed.

The "Nichū" ("Second Middle") in the name refers to the institution today known as Kagoshima Prefectural Kōnan High School. The stop carried the name "Kōtsū-kyoku-mae" ("Transportation Bureau front") for 63 years until the bureau moved to Kami-arata-chō in 2015; before then, a tram signed for Kōtsū-kyoku-mae terminated here, and passengers continuing towards Kōrimoto or Taniyama were not treated as transferring, so a separate fare was payable on alighting and again on boarding the next tram.
