• Tosaden Kōtsu Gomen Line: Hōeichō

Saenbachō Station opened on 31 October 1908 as Ōgayabashi-dōri (大鋸屋橋通停留場), when Tosa Electric Railway extended the future Gomen Line east from Horizume through Harimaya-bashi to Shimoji (today's Hōeichō). It was renamed Saenbachō (菜園場町停留場) on 1 February 1938. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The two platforms straddle the tracks diagonally — Gomenmachi-bound on the east, Harimaya-bashi-bound on the west.

Saenbachō means "vegetable garden ward" — the name dates to the Edo period, when the Tosa domain maintained a fief vegetable plot here. The Saenbachō shopping arcade still runs north from the stop, and is marked by an arched entrance gate.
