History
Yunokawa Stop (DY01) is the eastern terminus of the Hakodate City Tram Yunokawa Line in Yukawa-chō 2-chōme, Hakodate, Hokkaidō — the easternmost stop in Hakodate. It opened on 29 June 1913 as one of Hokkaidō's first streetcar stops on the Hakodate Suiden's line. Postcards from the Taishō era show a wooden waiting room here. The single-track section between Samegawa (now Yunokawa-onsen) and Yunokawa was removed on 9 July 1945 and the stop abolished, then a double track was relaid in the same alignment and the stop reopened on 2 September 1959. The stop was relocated to its present site in October 1976. A 2006 points-replacement upgraded the equipment to the same German manufacture used at Komaba-shako-mae, Goryōkaku-kōen-mae and Hakodate-eki-mae.

Notes
Yunokawa Stop appears as the source of one half of Tomytec's "Tetsudō-Musume" character Yuno Kashiwagi (conductor) — Yuno's given name comes from this stop and her surname Kashiwagi comes from the Kashiwagi-chō stop on the same Yunokawa Line.
