Urakami Tram Depot

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

Urakami-shako opened on 1 August 1953 as Nishimachi-shako-mae, three years after the Main Line was extended north from Ōhashi. The Nagasaki Electric Tramway depot opened the same month next to the stop. On 20 September 1966 the stop was renamed Urakami-shako-mae following an internal naming competition, and the depot was renamed Urakami-shako in the same month. The depot was rebuilt and reopened on 31 July 1979, and on 1 August 2018 the "-mae" suffix was dropped, giving the present name. It is stop number 17 on the Main Line, and many rush-hour services terminate here or change crew because the depot lies alongside.

The original Nishimachi depot was assembled from a reused IJN aircraft-hangar structure relocated from the wartime 21st Naval Air Arsenal in Ōmura; it was demolished in March 1979 and replaced with the present building whose roof doubles as a car park.
