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

Wakida Station is a Kagoshima City Tram Taniyama Line tram stop in Usuki 3-chōme, Kagoshima, serving Route 1. The stop opened on 1 December 1912 under Kagoshima Electric Tramway, its location was shifted on 10 November 1917, and on 1 July 1928 it was transferred to the Kagoshima City Electric Bureau (today the Kagoshima City Transportation Bureau). The stop has two side platforms with approach indicators and announcements on both, and it accepts standard wheelchairs but not powered chairs (platform width is below regulation). Until 1969 — two years after the 1967 merger of Kagoshima City and the former Taniyama City — Wakida was the fare-boundary stop between the in-city zone (¥20) and the out-of-city zone (¥5); the two zones were then replaced with a flat ¥25 fare. The municipal-bus / tram transfer discount operates here, and city buses depart from a stop directly alongside the tram platform.

When Kagoshima City and the former Taniyama City merged in 1967, the Taniyama Line continued to be divided at Wakida between an in-city fare (¥20) and an out-of-city fare (¥5); the two were merged into a flat ¥25 fare in 1969, two years after the city merger took effect.
