Omuro-Ninnaji

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

Omuro-Ninnaji Station opened on 3 November 1925 as Omuro Station, set up by Kyoto Dentō's Arashiyama Electric Railway when its Kitano Line began service between Kitano (today's Kitano-Hakubaichō) and Takaoguchi (today's Utano). On 2 March 1942 it passed with the rest of the line to the Keifuku Electric Railroad. It was named one of the third edition of the Kinki Region's Hundred Best Stations in 2002, and on 19 March 2007 was renamed Omuro-Ninnaji to make its role as the closest stop to the UNESCO World Heritage temple explicit.

Although the station is now unstaffed, a framed plaque on the front of the station building still carries the old name in pre-reform right-to-left, traditional-character form, 「驛室御」, left in place after the renaming. The Niōmon gate of Ninna-ji temple is visible from the station forecourt.
