Location
History
Kashiharajingū-mae Station is a major station in the central-southern part of Nara Prefecture, in the Asuka area, and is a Kintetsu (Kinki Nippon Railway) terminal where the Kashihara Line and Minami-Osaka Line end and the Yoshino Line begins. The railway history of the site began in December 1923, when the narrow-gauge Yoshino Railway, extending north from Yoshinoguchi, entered the (former) Kashiharajingū-mae Station, which was then the terminus of the Osaka Electric Tramway's Unebi Line (broad gauge, now the Kashihara Line); in 1924 the Yoshino Railway extended further to the Railway Ministry's Unebi Station. Separately, a station also called "Kashiharajingū Station" was established on the line of the Osaka Railway (now the Minami-Osaka Line), running southeast to connect to the Yoshino Railway's Kumedera Station. Subsequently the Osaka Electric Tramway absorbed the Yoshino Railway, and after reorganization that included converting the section between the (former) Kashiharajingū-mae and Kumedera into dual-gauge triple-rail track combining broad and narrow gauge, the station reached its present form. Because the Kashihara Line and the Minami-Osaka Line have different track gauges, through-running between them is not possible, but the Minami-Osaka Line and the Yoshino Line operate through-service as an integrated system. The Central Entrance station building was designed by the architect Tōgo Murano, known for the Shin-Kabukiza theatre, and was selected in the first "100 Selected Stations of Kinki."
