"Shin-Tsunashima" won with 381 votes. "Tsunashima-onsen" (綱島温泉, lit. Tsunashima Hot-spring) was the most popular free suggestion with 247 votes, more than the 176 votes of "Higashi-Tsunashima". Other notable suggestions were "Tsunashima Higashi" (綱島東) and "Ōtsunabashi" (大綱橋).

All season/commuter passes which cover the section between Tsunashima and Hiyoshi allow entering/exiting Shin-Tsunashima without additional charge, and vice versa. However, there is no free out-of-station interchange arrangement between Shin-tsunashima and Tsunashima. Exiting one station and entering the other station is treated as starting a separate journey.^[5]
