• Hankyu Arashiyama Line: Matsuo-taisha

Arashiyama Station opened on November 9, 1928 as the terminus of the Hankyu Arashiyama Line, then a branch of the new Shin-Keihan Railway aimed at the Arashiyama tourist district. Originally built with six platforms serving five dead-end tracks in anticipation of heavy sightseeing traffic, the station was reduced after the war to three platforms and two tracks; two of the three disused platform faces survive on the north-east side, planted with trees. The line passed to Keihan Electric Railway in 1930 and to Keihanshin Express Electric Railway (the present-day Hankyu) in 1943. The station building was renovated in 2010 to evoke a traditional Kyoto townhouse, and station numbering HK-98 was introduced in December 2013.

Arashiyama is the highest-numbered station on the Hankyu network (HK-98). Its comb-shaped terminus has three platform faces for two tracks, so that each track is flanked by a platform on both sides, although only the central platform is in everyday use.
