Nishisen 9-jō Asahiyama-kōen-dōri Stop (SC06) is on the Sapporo Streetcar Yamahana-nishi Line in Chūō-ku, Sapporo, at the Fukuzumi-Sōen-dōri/Kikusui-Asahiyama-kōen-dōri intersection. It opened on 23 November 1931 as Minami-9-jō Stop, was double-tracked in 1951, renamed Nishisen 9-jō Stop on 8 July 1957, Asahiyama-kōen-dōri Stop on 1 May 1973, and lengthened to the current 20-character name Nishisen 9-jō Asahiyama-kōen-dōri on 1 May 1974 after local opposition restored the "Nishisen 9-jō" portion. The kana and romanisation were updated from Nissen- to Nishisen- on 1 April 2001, and the stop number SC06 was assigned on 1 April 2015.

From the 1974 rename until 1990 — 16 years — the 20-character name Nishisen 9-jō Asahiyama-kōen-dōri was Japan's longest railway station name, surrendering the title to the 22-character Chōjagahama Shiosai-Hamanasu-Kōen-mae on the Kashima Rinkai Railway's Ōarai-Kashima Line. It remained the longest streetcar stop name until 1 January 2021, when a stop on the Toyama Chihō Railway's Kureha Line was renamed from Toyama Toyopet-Honsha-mae (Gofuku-Suehirochō) to the 32-character Toyota Mobility Toyama G Square Gofuku-mae (Gofuku-Suehirochō).
