History
Dentetsu-Toyama Eki ESTA-mae Station is a Toyama Chihō Railway tram stop on the south side of Toyama Station, on the Toyama-gun-dōsen Honsen (main line) and shisen (branch). It was renamed from Toyama-eki-mae Stop (富山駅前停留場) to its current form on 14 March 2015, when the Toyama-eki Tram Stop opened on the opposite side of the elevated JR/Ainokaze tracks and became the closer stop to the JR ticket gates. Toyama-eki-mae had previously been the nearest tram stop to Toyama Station; the new naming distinguishes it from the new Toyama-eki Tram Stop and indicates its position by Dentetsu-Toyama Station (the Toyama Chihō Railway main-line terminus) and the ESTA Toyama shopping building.

Notes
Until 14 March 2015, the stop now called Dentetsu-Toyama Eki ESTA-mae was simply Toyama-eki-mae — the closest tram stop to Toyama Station's main entrance. When the new Toyama-eki Tram Stop opened on the opposite side of the elevated tracks, the old stop was renamed to reflect its actual location at the south-side road, by the Toyama Chihō Railway's Dentetsu-Toyama Station and the adjacent ESTA Toyama building.
