Iwashimizu-Hachimangu

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

The station opened on 15 April 1910 as Yawata Station alongside the Keihan Main Line itself, in what is now the city of Yawata, Kyoto Prefecture. It was renamed Iwashimizu-Hachimangū-mae on 25 December 1939, Yawatachō on 1 January 1948, and Yawatashi on 1 November 1977. The current name, reflecting its proximity to the Iwashimizu Hachimangū shrine on Otokoyama, was adopted on 1 October 2019, when the station was administratively split from the funicular station (renamed Cable-Hachimangū-guchi). Built as two opposed side platforms, the layout was progressively expanded with passing tracks to two island platforms before the outer tracks were withdrawn between 2009 and 2016, returning it to two opposed side platforms. Station number KH26.

After the 2010 barrier-free works, the station was refurbished with LED lighting whose design and power saving Keihan worked out jointly with the Panasonic Group: the canopy over the station building was made into a tent and lit to evoke the incandescent lamp invented by Thomas Edison, while green LEDs washed across tiled wall panels in the concourse and toilets evoke the bamboo of Yawata. Some 150 LED fixtures were installed, and the work was completed in March 2011.
