Kengun-machi opened on 6 May 1945 as Mitsubishi Kōjō-mae ("Mitsubishi Factory Front") on what is now the Kumamoto City Tram Kengun Line, and was relocated and renamed Kengun-machi in March 1947. The platforms divide the alighting and boarding sides — the wider boarding platform is wheelchair-accessible, while the narrower alighting platform is reached via an unsignalled pedestrian crossing — and the boarding platform was rebuilt in 2010. The name comes from the Kengun district, which was historically written 竹宮 (Takemiya) before changing to 健軍 (also read Takemiya) and then to the modern reading Kengun in the Meiji period. It is the eastern terminus of the Kengun Line, stop number 26.

After the timetable revision of 29 June 2024 cut services substantially, rush-hour trams departing this terminus have been unable to carry everyone waiting, leaving passengers behind.
