History
Sakurajima-Sanbashi-dōri opened on 20 December 1914 as Namekawa on the Kagoshima Electric Tramway, transferred to the Kagoshima Municipal Electricity Bureau on 1 July 1928 and then to the Kagoshima City Transportation Bureau through later reorganisations. It was abolished on 5 May 1943 during wartime, reopened on 1 December 1962, and renamed Sakurajima-Sanbashi-dōri on 1 January 1967 after the Sakurajima Pier (the Kagoshima Port ferry terminal for the Sakurajima island ferry, of which this is the closest tram stop). The two-platform relative layout is at street level. During the 1 February 2020 – 26 March 2021 closure of Kagoshima-Ekimae for rebuilding, this stop served as the temporary northern terminus for Route 1 and Route 2.
