History
Myōkenbashi tram stop is on the Tosaden Kōtsū Gomen Line in Ōtsu, Kōchi. It opened on 27 January 1911 with the original Gomen Line extension from Ōtsu Station (closed; see Ryōseki-dōri) to Gomen-Nakamachi-dōri Station, built by Tosa Electric Railway. On 1 October 2014, the station passed to the new operator Tosaden Kōtsū when Tosa Electric Railway merged with Kōchi-Ken Kōtsū and Tosaden Dream Service.

Notes
Myōkenbashi's Harimaya-bashi-bound platform has a proper raised safety island, while the Gomen-machi-bound side is just a painted white line on the adjacent highway shoulder — a common pattern on Tosaden's rural Gomen Line stops; to the south lies the Myōken-Hikoyama burial-mound group.
