History
Tamachi tram stop opened on 18 March 1928 as Renshōji-mae stop when the Okayama Electric Tramway Seikibashi Line extended between Yanagawa and Daiunjichō (now Daiunjimae). It was renamed Shiyakusho-mae ("City Hall front") on 23 June 1942, then suspended along with the rest of the Seikibashi Line on 29 June 1945 after the Okayama air raid. When the line reopened on 29 June 1946 this stop was kept closed; it was restored on 11 August 1954 under the name Chūtetsu-Basu-mae, and renamed Tamachi on 1 July 1985. Since 1 December 2016, after Kawasaki Medical School General Medical Center opened roughly 100 m southeast, signage and in-car announcements have read "Tamachi (Kawasaki Medical Center mae)".

Notes
The stop has a single island platform serving two tracks, an unusual arrangement on an otherwise narrow tramway street, and is the alighting point for Kawasaki Medical School General Medical Center, hence the subname "Kawasaki Medical Center mae".
