History
Higashiyama / Okaden Museum-eki Stop is the eastern terminus (stop number H10) of the Okayama Electric Tramway Higashiyama Main Line, located in Tokuyoshichō 2-chōme and Higashiyama 2-chōme, Naka-ku, Okayama City. It opened on 9 July 1923 as Higashiyama Stop when the Saidaijichō-Higashiyama section opened. The stop was relocated about 100 metres west on 14 July 1956, and renamed to its present form on 1 April 2017 to reflect the adjacent Okaden Museum + Eiji Mitooka Design. The stop has two opposed side platforms; beyond them the track splits towards a depot on either side of Okayama Prefectural Route 28, so arriving cars enter the depot side first and then return to the opposite-direction platform.

Notes
On signage and announcements the stop is called "-eki" ("station"), but the official name in the Tetsudō Yōran railway directory is "Higashiyama / Okaden Museum" without "-eki". The stop may also be announced as "Higashiyama / Okaden Chuggington Museum-eki" in connection with the Okaden Chuggington tram service.
