Kuwamizu-kōsaten opened on 6 May 1945 as Kuwamizu-machi on what is now the Kumamoto City Tram Kengun Line. The stop was renamed several times — to Kuwamizu-bashi, then Shimin-byōin-mae (Kuwamizu-bashi), and on 15 September 1961 to Kuwamizu-bashi (Shimin-byōin-mae). On 1 March 2011 it became Kuwamizu-Shiminbyōin-mae, and when the Kumamoto Municipal Hospital relocated on 1 October 2019 it took its current name, after the intersection of Kumamoto Prefectural Route 28 and National Route 57 (the Higashi Bypass) that the platforms straddle. It is stop number 22 on the Kengun Line and the closest tram stop to Lake Ezu.

Morning Karashima-machi-bound trams left the Kengun-machi terminus already full and could not accept boardings further down the line; trams starting from this stop were trialled from November 2021 and formally adopted in the timetable revision of 11 April 2022.
