History
Kaikonoyashiro Station opened on 25 March 1910 as a stop on the Arashiyama Densha Kidō, taking its name from the nearby Kaiko-no-yashiro, the popular name of Konoshima-niimasu-Amaterumitama Shrine. It passed to Kyoto Dentō's Arashiyama Electric Railway on 2 April 1918 via merger and to Keifuku Electric Railroad on 2 March 1942. For about ten weeks in 2008 — between the opening of the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tōzai Line's Uzumasa-Tenjingawa Station on 16 January and that of Randen-Tenjingawa Station on 28 March — Kaikonoyashiro served as the temporary tram-to-subway interchange.
Notes
Most Randen stops have substantial canopies covering at least one tram length, but Kaikonoyashiro is unusually spartan — both platforms have only three-seat benches, and the Arashiyama-bound platform has a particularly small roof. Long benches were removed from the Shijō-Ōmiya-bound platform in anticipation of crowding when the subway transfer was active.
