Sasanuki Station is a Kagoshima City Tram Taniyama Line tram stop in Higashi-Taniyama 1-chōme, Kagoshima, serving Route 1. The stop has been opened twice: it was originally established on 25 October 1915 by Kagoshima Electric Tramway, abolished on 14 January 1918 and re-established on 9 February 1920, and on 1 July 1928 it was transferred to the Kagoshima City Electric Bureau (today the Kagoshima City Transportation Bureau). The stop has two opposed side platforms at-grade, with an adjacent grade crossing letting riders move between platforms at any time a tram is not passing; both platforms have approach indicators and announcements. Standard wheelchairs are permitted but powered chairs are not, because the platform width is below regulation. During the era when the line was single-track, Sasanuki had a passing loop and operated tablet-exchange.

Sasanuki has the unusual distinction of having been opened, abolished and re-opened in the space of five years — the original 1915 stop lasted only 27 months before its 1918 closure, with a fresh stop opening on the same spot in 1920 that has remained in service ever since.
