History
Gomen-nakamachi tram stop is on the Tosaden Kōtsū Gomen Line in Gomen-machi, Nankoku, Kōchi. It opened on 27 January 1911 as Gomen-Nakamachi-dōri Station, the eastern terminus of the Tosa Electric Railway's first Gomen Line extension from Ōtsu (today's Ryōseki-dōri). On 14 May 1911 the line was extended one more stop to (old) Gomen-machi (today Gomen-higashimachi), completing the Gomen Line. The stop was suspended on 1 June 1944 during wartime austerity and revived on 1 July 1952 with its present name. A safety-island platform was finally added on 27 April 2012 — until then passengers boarded from a white line on the street — which completed the Harimaya-bashi-bound side of the Gomen Line as fully platformed. On 1 October 2014 it became a Tosaden Kōtsū station after the post-merger operator was established.

Notes
The 2012 installation of a safety-island platform at Gomen-nakamachi was milestone for the Gomen Line — once it was in place, every Harimaya-bashi-bound stop on the line had a proper platform; before then passengers here boarded from a painted white line on the road shoulder.
