History
Ōhato opened on 16 November 1915 on the same day the Nagasaki Electric Tramway started service, and its position and name have never officially changed — making it the only stop on the entire network with that distinction. Pre-war crews informally called it Ōhato-Kenchō-mae since the Nagasaki Prefectural Office stood next door (the office moved away in 2018). The stop sits on the kerb of National Route 202 facing the Nagasaki port wharves, and during the Shōrō Nagashi spirit-boat procession the regular northbound platform is closed for safety and a temporary platform is set up on the south side of the intersection. It is stop number 29 on the Main Line.
