Shichijo

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

Shichijō Station serves the Keihan Main Line in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, beneath the east end of Shichijō-ōhashi bridge over the Kamo River. It opened on 27 April 1913, replacing the earlier Daibutsu-mae stop a short distance north so that the line could interchange with the new Kyoto City Tram on Shichijō Street. Originally a staggered ground-level layout with platforms split by the street, it survived the 1935 Kamo River flood and a 1946 collapse of a rotted timber platform. Through-tracks were buried on 24 May 1987 and the station passed underground; the former surface alignment became Kawabata-dōri the following year. The station became a limited-express stop in 1950 and remains one today.

The station's location is read "Shichijō," but the bus stops of every operator except Keihan Bus read it as "Nanajō"; only Keihan Bus calls its stop "Shichijō-Keihan-mae," so the readings of the station name and the bus stop names differ.
