History
Kashiwagi-chō Stop (DY07) is on the Hakodate City Tram in Kashiwagi-chō, Hakodate, Hokkaidō. It opened on 29 June 1913 as Kashiwano Stop, was later renamed Kashiwagi-chō with the sub-name "Dai-2 Shako-mae" ("Second Depot front") added, and lost that sub-name on 11 July 1951. The line's old Kashiwagi Depot stood immediately south of the platform until 19 April 1974 — replaced over time by the Akashia Hotel (1981), Hotel Royal Kashiwagi (1992) and the present Hakodate Marukatsu Suisan Kashiwagi-ten — and the depot-era crossover was kept in place until around 1980 to allow 2-keitō section runs between Kashiwagi-chō and Yachigashira to terminate here.

Notes
Kashiwagi-chō lent its name to Yuno Kashiwagi, a fictional Tomytec "Tetsudō-Musume" character — railway-girl conductor — making this stop one of the rare Hakodate tram halts to feature in mainstream anime-style railway merchandise.
