History

Kanda (Kōtsū-kyoku-mae) Station is a Kagoshima City Tram Tōsō Line tram stop in Kami-arata-chō, Kagoshima, serving Route 2. The stop opened on 1 June 1952 under the Kagoshima City Transportation Section as Tōsō Station, and on 29 March 1957, with the opening of a new Tōsō Station further south, it was renamed Kanda. When the city's Transportation Bureau relocated from Kōrai-machi to Kami-arata-chō on 1 May 2015, the stop was renamed Kanda (Kōtsū-kyoku-mae) — reflecting its new status as the bureau's nearest tram stop — while the previous bureau-adjacent stop, Kōtsū-kyoku-mae, was renamed Nichūdōri. The stop is at-grade with two platforms; powered wheelchairs cannot be used because the platform width is below the regulation minimum, and tickets are not sold on site.

Notes

Because Kanda's name needed to be vacated when the bureau-front stop further up the line was renamed in 2015, the city executed simultaneous renames of two stops on the same day — the old "Kōtsū-kyoku-mae" (Nichū-dōri) and Kanda — and added the sub-name "(Kōtsū-kyoku-mae)" to Kanda to advertise the bureau's new location.
