Location
History
Dōshishamae Station opened on 1 April 1986 as a passenger-only station of Japanese National Railways between the present-day JR-Miyamaki and Kyōtanabe stations, the third JNR station to bear a university name. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West. A new station building modeled on the Doshisha University Kyotanabe campus opened in January 2005, and the platform was extended in 2010 to accommodate seven-car trains, at which point the second platform was retired. Numbering JR-H23 was introduced in March 2018. The station now has a single side platform.
Notes
Earlier the station building incorporated the body of a withdrawn 583-series sleeper carriage, which served briefly as a coffee shop and then as a waiting room before the new 2005 structure replaced it.
