The cramped single track Hankai Tramway terminal in the center of a busy boulevard has been replaced with a new terminal and line beside the old terminal.

Looks good, that grass (it's real isn't it?) is a nice touch.  I thought they might make the station itself double track.  No room, or unneeded as they've got that reverse maneuver down to an art? :grin

A double track terminus with a scissors crossover on the approach would have been more versatile but I'm assuming the street isn't wide enough for two tracks plus a pltform on each side.

My (unqualified and not authoritative) impression is that the terminus stations on these kind of tramlines in Japan usually follow that single track pattern; the Toei Waseda line and Tokyu Setagaya lines do, if memory serves correctly. Also reduces the number of points from 4 to 1.
