• San'in Main Line: Saga-Arashiyama ⇄ Umahori

Hozukyō Station sits on a bridge over the Hozukyō Gorge straddling Kameoka and Kyoto's Nishikyō Ward, on the San'in Main Line (Sagano Line) operated by JR West and 14.3 km from Kyoto. It began as the Matsuoyama Signal Box on 17 August 1929 and was upgraded to a passenger station on 15 April 1936 at what is now the Torokko Hozukyō site. The 1989 double-tracking and rerouting of the line between Saga and Umahori shifted the station to its present elevated bridge position. JR West took over from JNR in 1987 and added a new station building in November 1990.

The platforms are suspended on a bridge whose centerline directly above the Hozu River marks the boundary between Kyoto City and Kameoka City.
