Matsukaze-chō Stop (DY16) is on the Hakodate City Tram in Matsukaze-chō, Hakodate, Hokkaidō, on the Yunokawa Line (and until 1992 also a junction with the Tōun Line). It opened on 30 October 1913 as Daimon-mae Stop, was renamed Matsukaze-chō after 1945, lost its Tōun Line connection on 1 April 1992 when that line was abolished, started a major rebuild on 9 September 2017 with completion on 28 November the same year (during which the outbound platform was relocated about 60 m to the north-side intersection), and the resulting layout shifted from opposed (sōtai-shiki) to staggered (chidori-shiki) platforms. Both platforms now follow the network-wide barrier-free template — 1.5 m wide, shelters and windscreens, ramps with road-heating and LED-lit signage.

Matsukaze-chō was a junction with the Tōun Line until 31 March 1992, so for nearly 80 years passengers could change here for trams running northward along the now-defunct Tōun Line — its closure on 1 April 1992 reduced the stop to its present role on the Honsen Line alone.
