This tram stop was created in order to service the shopping area between Katahara-machi and Otaya Avenue, and to service the JR West & Ainokaze Toyama Railway Takaoka Station.
It was called Takaoka-Eki-mae Station (高岡駅前駅, Takaoka-eki-mae-eki) before the platform was relocated from the street outside the station to the first (i.e. ground) floor of the "curun Takaoka" Building (due to differing translations it is also known as "Krun Takaoka" or "Krung Takaoka") which is attached to Takaoka Station, on March 29, 2014.
JR West Takaoka Station, terminus for the Jōhana and Himi Lines, is located right in front of this station.
