History
Hasuikemachi-dōri Station opened on 16 February 1928 as Hasuikemachi, when Tosa Electric Railway built the Ekimae Line between Harimaya-bashi and Kōchi-eki. It was renamed Hasuikemachi-dōri on 1 February 1938, suspended on 29 July 1942 during the war, and revived on 18 April 1960. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The two platforms straddle a major intersection diagonally — Kōchi-eki-bound on the north side, Sanbashi-bound on the south.

Notes
The Hasuike ("lotus pond") in the stop name comes from the time when Kōchi Castle's castle town was being built — settlers were moved here from the village of Hasuike in present-day Tosa City, and the new district kept the name.
