• Toyama Chiho Railway Main Line: Kami-honmachi

Nishichō Station (C08) is a Toyama Chihō Railway tram stop in Nishichō, Toyama City, on prefectural road 43. It opened on 1 September 1913 as a Toyama Electric Tramway stop, was transferred to the Toyama City Tramway on 1 July 1920, and joined Toyama Chihō Railway on 1 January 1943. It served wartime suspension from 2 August 1945 and was reopened progressively from 14 January 1946. It was a branch-line junction at opening (Main Line vs. Branch Line), again from 1928 with the East Line, again from 1950 with the Sasazu Line and Imizu Line through-services, and once more from 23 December 2009 with the Toyama Toshin Loop Line. The opposed platforms are staggered (chidori-shiki).

Nishichō has been a branch-line junction in four different periods — Main vs Branch Line from opening in 1913, East Line from 1928, Sasazu/Imizu Line through-services from 1950, and now the Toyama Toshin Loop Line since 23 December 2009 — but loop trams stop short and passengers must alight at Nakamachi to transfer.
