History
Kamimachi-nichōme Station opened on 9 October 1906 as Honchō-suji-nichōme (本町筋二丁目停留場), with the same line extension that established its neighbour to the east. The kanji was changed to 本丁筋二丁目 on 1 August 1936; the stop was abolished outright on 1 April 1944, and reopened on 10 August 1966 in step with the wider Kamimachi address reform — and at that point it took its present name. The stop carries the naming-rights secondary name "Shakai-iryō-hōjin Jinseikai Hosogi-byōin-mae" (Hosogi Hospital Front). The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

Notes
Of all the Honchō-suji stops opened in 1906 along the western Honmachi Line, Kamimachi-nichōme was the only one fully abolished rather than just suspended during the wartime cuts — it took twenty-two years to come back.
