History
Jingū-Marutamachi Station is an underground Keihan Ōtō Line station in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, operated by Keihan Electric Railway. It opened on 5 October 1989 as Marutamachi Station with the inauguration of the Ōtō Line beneath Kawabata-dori, where the line crosses Marutamachi-dori, and was an express stop from the start. It was renamed Jingū-Marutamachi on 19 October 2008, the day the Nakanoshima Line opened, to distinguish it from the Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line's Marutamachi Station roughly one kilometre to the west and to reference the nearby Heian Shrine. Display upgrades and elevator replacements continued through the 2010s, and a tourist information panel was added in the concourse in January 2018.
Notes
Among Kyoto-area stations sensitive to tourism demand, this is unusually slow to recover from the pandemic-era ridership drop, even though its 2020 decline was relatively shallow compared with nearby stations.
