• Tasaki Line: Nihongiguchi

Tasaki-bashi opened on 24 December 1959 on the Kumamoto City tram Tasaki Line as stop 1. It was relocated on 15 September 1964, again in April 1971, and a third time on 26 April 2010 — that final move accompanied the line's shift to a side-reservation layout, taking the stop from a single-island platform to a two-platform/one-track arrangement on the east side of the new National Government Building site. Until that 2010 move the stretch between Tasaki-bashi and Nihongi-guchi was the Kumamoto City tram's only single-track section; afterwards the single-track piece shrank to the final 100 m before Tasaki-bashi. On 26 July 2024 a derailment at the points in that single-track approach suspended Tasaki-bashi service until 28 July.

Despite the name, the Tasaki Bridge over the Tsuboi River — the bridge the stop is named after — is about 50 m south of the platforms; the stop sits in Kasuga 2-chōme rather than Tasaki itself.
