• Tosaden Kōtsu Gomen Line: Chiyorichō-itchōme ⇄ Chiyorichō

Chiyorichō-nichōme Station has been renamed four times in its 117-year history. It opened on 30 October 1909 as Shinchi-dōri (新地通停留場) when Tosa Electric Railway extended the future Gomen Line east from Shimoji (now Hōeichō) to Kazurashimabashi-nishizume. From 1911 to 1944 it was the junction for the short Shinchi Line (新地線), a 0.5 km branch that ran south to a small terminus at the Hori-kawa riverbank. The stop became Kaigan-dōri on 27 July 1936, Wakamatsuchō-dōri on 1 February 1938, and finally Chiyorichō-nichōme on 8 January 1957. The Wakamatsuchō car works alongside opened on 30 August 1929 and closed on 24 August 1962 when the Shinonome-chō car works took over. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

From 1911 to 1944 this stop was the junction for the Shinchi Line — a 0.5 km wartime-suspended branch whose terminus changed names every time the parent stop did (Shinchi → Kaigan-dōri-shūten → Wakamatsuchō, in step with this one).
