History

Shinden (Kōtsū-kyoku-mae) Station is a Kagoshima City Tram Tōsō Line tram stop in Kami-arata-chō, Kagoshima, serving Route 2. The stop opened on 1 June 1952 under the Kagoshima City Transportation Section as Tōsō Station, and on 29 March 1957, with the opening of a new Tōsō Station further along the line, it was renamed Shinden. When the city's Transportation Bureau relocated from Kōrai-machi to Kami-arata-chō on 1 May 2015, the stop was renamed Shinden (Kōtsū-kyoku-mae) — reflecting its new status as the bureau's nearest tram stop — while the previous bureau-adjacent stop, Kōtsū-kyoku-mae, was renamed Nichūdōri. The stop is at-grade with two platforms; neither manual nor powered wheelchairs can be used because the platform width is below the regulation minimum, and the stop is unstaffed, with no tickets sold on site.

Notes

When the Kagoshima City Transportation Bureau moved to Kami-arata-chō on 1 May 2015, the city renamed two stops the same day: Kōtsū-kyoku-mae, the stop nearest the bureau's former premises, reverted to Nichūdōri, and Shinden — now the closest stop to the new bureau building — became Shinden (Kōtsū-kyoku-mae).
