Sofukuji

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Sōfukuji opened on 17 June 1968 as Shōkaku-jishita when the Nagasaki Electric Tramway extended south from Shianbashi. The Tamatai River was culverted and the road widened to make space for the tracks. Extension at a time when many other Japanese tram lines were being closed was unusual enough to attract attention, and was justified by the need to relieve growing road congestion around Shianbashi by moving the terminus. The stop was rebuilt on 2 February 2003, when the canopy was replaced with a shelter design and part of the retaining wall at the buffer was removed to extend the stop's usable length by 3 metres; on 1 August 2018 it was renamed Sōfukuji after the National-Treasure Sōfukuji Temple nearby. It is the terminus of the Main Line and stop number 35.

The stop's old name was read Shōkaku-jishita, although the temple it was named for is read Shōgaku-ji. Set just beyond the point where the Tamatai River culvert ends, the platform projects out over the river, and passengers can see the water below.
