History

Nishi 8-chōme Stop (SC02) is on the Sapporo Streetcar Ichijō Line in Minami 1-jō Nishi 8-chōme, Chūō-ku, Sapporo, on the corner of Minami-1-jō-dōri and Nishi-8-chōme-dōri. It opened on 12 August 1918, was renamed Miyoshi-jinja-mae at an unrecorded date, became Nishi 8-chōme Shiritsu-byōin-dōri on 21 November 1941 and reverted to Nishi 8-chōme on 24 March 1950. A safety island was added in September 1978 (recorded as 1981 — Shōwa 56), the platform was numbered SC02 on 1 April 2015, and a service starting from this stop was introduced on 16 November 2016, with platforms raised in a July 2018 renovation.

Notes

Because of where the points lie, the outer-loop morning-rush trams that turn back at Nishi 4-chōme begin their return run from Nishi 8-chōme, making this stop the starting point for services during the morning peak.
