Suidōchō tram stop opened on 1 August 1924 on the Kumamoto City Transportation Bureau line, numbered 12 today. The Route 4 section serving the stop (Kami-Kumamoto-ekimae – Fujisaki-gū-mae – Suidōchō – Taiikukan-mae) was abolished on 1 May 1970 and Route 1 (Tasakibashi – Suidōchō – Fujisaki-gū-mae – Kokaibashi) followed on 1 March 1972; until then a signal tower stood at the corner of the intersection. A derailment on 31 December 2024 closed the section between Karashimachō and Suidōchō for three days, and short closures of the same section followed in January, March and June 2025 because of repair work, a collision and detected rail damage; during each closure trams from the Kengun-machi direction turned back here. The stop lies at the eastern edge of central Kumamoto and has two opposing platforms plus a turn-back facility on the Tōrichōsuji side; it is wheelchair-accessible.

Until 1972 Suidōchō had a second pair of platforms on National Route 3 in front of the Japan Evangelical Lutheran Kumamoto Church, serving Main Line and Tsuboi Line trams bound for Jōgyōji and Kokaibashi — giving the stop a total of four platforms.
