History
Shōwabashi Stop (DY13) is on the Hakodate City Tram Yunokawa Line in Horikawa-chō, Hakodate, Hokkaidō. It opened on 1 November 1959, and its platforms were completely renovated to barrier-free standards with weather canopies on both sides, with the new layout entering service on 1 April 2005; the inbound platform (toward Hakodate-dock and Yachigashira) also gained rubber-pole guide-posts for collision protection.
