Timetable data as of 3 May 2026.

The timetable data is incomplete for some or all lines at this station, so the weekday and Sat & holiday figures are departures in the available timetable data, not totals.

Lines where the timetable data is incomplete:

• Tasaki Line: only trains from timetables filed under other lines

• Tasaki Line: Kumamoto Station (Kumamoto City Transportation Bureau) ⇄ Tasakibashi

Nihongi-guchi opened on 24 December 1959 on the Kumamoto City tram Tasaki Line as stop 2. It was moved on 26 April 2010 to a side-reservation layout. On 26 July 2024 a tram derailment at the points between Tasaki-bashi and Nihongi-guchi suspended service through this stop until 28 July.

The stop is named after Nihongi, a district just east across the Tsuboi River that used to be a famous pleasure quarter. The stop itself stands in Kasuga — but the Nihongi name had stayed so well known that it was chosen anyway.
