I came across Shōkakuji-shita on the Nagasaki Tramway system on the net a while back, especially through the blog of Chris Mears.. It's a superb minimum space prototype, only 1 point, but plenty of traffic and quite unique scenically, built on the edge of the river, with a backdrop of characterful properties clinging to the opposite bank.
It's the terminus of routes 1 and 4. For a colourful map of the system, take a look here. There's loads of YouTube videos of the Nagasaki Tramways, many filmed from from the driver's perspective. Until now however, none of them appeared to feature Shōkakuji-shita - even the route 1 journeys appeared to stop short. Doubtless they are out there, but my inability to read Japanese makes searching difficult.
I've finally come across this however - not the elusive cabview I'd really like to see, but the first minute does give some good views of the station.
Now to continue ploughing through YouTube to find some more!
