Location

History

Uoichiba-dōri Stop (DY19) is on the Hakodate City Tram Honsen Line in Toyokawa-chō (outbound platform) and Ōtemachi (inbound platform), Hakodate, Hokkaidō. It opened on 30 October 1913 as Kuyakusho-mae Stop ("Ward Office front"), was renamed Shiyakusho-mae Stop ("City Office front") on 1 August 1922, Shōkō-kaigisho-mae before 1938, then Uoichiba-dōri on 1 July 1967. A rebuild was completed and put into service on 26 December 2006 after the previous arrangement was deemed to be causing accidents at the adjoining intersection. On 24 January 2007 a naming-rights agreement renamed the stop "Uoichiba-dōri (Hakodate Shinkin Honten-mae)", but the original name was restored in 2017; the bank's former head office beside the stop is now Dōnan Umimachi Shinkin Bank's Hakodate Central Office.

Notes

The mercury lamps on both platforms at Uoichiba-dōri were donated by Hakodate Shinkin Bank, as it then was, when it bought the stop's naming rights in 2007; they remain in place after the naming-rights arrangement ended and the original stop name was restored in 2017.
