History
Intec Honsha-mae Station is a Toyama Chihō Railway Toyama-kō Line tram stop in Ushijima-Shinmachi, Toyama, with station number C27. It was a new stop for the 29 April 2006 Toyama Light Rail conversion: Toyama City and Toyama Light Rail decided on 11 June 2004 to install a stop near Ushijima-Shinmachi, the Ministry approved on 18 February 2005, and the name was decided on 2 December 2005 — Intec submitted a naming-rights application and the new-stop naming committee accepted it. The stop opened with the rest of the Toyama-kō Line on 29 April 2006, and became a Toyama Chihō Railway stop on 22 February 2020 with the Toyama Light Rail merger. Partial double-tracking between this stop and Okuda-Chūgakkō-mae was authorised by the Ministry on 7 December 2015, along with the planned new Ryūkoku-Toyama-Kōkō-mae (Eirakuchō) stop on the same section that opened on 21 March 2021.

Notes
Intec Honsha-mae was one of the first Japanese tram stops paid for largely by a naming-rights deal — Intec, the IT services firm whose headquarters sit a short walk away, secured the rights and the naming-rights bid funded most of the construction.
