History

Sugidomo tram stop opened on 28 August 1939 on the Kumamoto City Transportation Bureau's Kami-Kumamoto Line, before being abolished on 28 December 1943. It reopened some time before 1962; the exact date is not recorded in the JA Wikipedia source. A shelter was constructed between January and March 2024. On 11 August 2025, a torrential rainstorm in Kumamoto Prefecture caused the Iseri River to flood, submerging the tracks and surrounding road to about knee height. The stop has two opposing platforms — one each for the Kami-Kumamoto- and Kengun-machi-bound directions, separated by a signal-free pedestrian crossing — and serves the B-route.

Notes

The stop's name 杉塘 (Sugidomo) comes from a nearby place name: the embankment of the Iseri River to the west was once planted with Japanese cedar trees (杉, sugi).
