History

Genbaku-Shiryōkan opened on 9 July 1920 as Hamaguchi on the Nagasaki Electric Tramway Main Line, taking the name Hamaguchi-machi soon afterwards. Like the rest of the system it went out of service after the 9 August 1945 atomic bombing; when the Urakami-eki-mae – Ōhashi section reopened on 16 May 1947 the line was rerouted to run straight between the two, and the old curving private right-of-way was abandoned. In 1990 the Nagasaki Yōkan opened with the tracks passing through its building — a unique sight on the network — and on 15 October 2006 it became the first Nagasaki tramway stop to be turfed inside its platforms. It was renamed Genbaku-Shiryōkan on 1 August 2018 after the adjacent Atomic Bomb Museum, and is stop number 20.

Notes

Between the platforms and the next stop the tracks dive into the former Nagasaki Yōkan retail complex, which closed in May 2023; Nagasaki Electric Tramway has said any future demolition would need to keep the in-building line in operation.
