Tahōtō Station is a Kurama-yama Cable Railway station in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, operated by the religious corporation of Kuramadera Temple. It is the upper terminus of the funicular line and is named after — and adjacent to — Kuramadera's Tahōtō pagoda. The station opened on 1 January 1957 simultaneously with the cable line. The 'Tahōtō Reidō', a Buddhist hall completed at the same time as the cable line, doubles as the station building: visitors enter on the ground floor next to the pagoda, then descend stairs to the waiting room and platform. Since the 2016 introduction of the fourth-generation cable car 'Ushiwaka-gō IV', a ticket machine selling the religious-donation-style 'kishin-hyō' (effectively the fare) has been installed at the station, and the operating attendant collects it on boarding.

Kurama-yama Cable Railway is run by Kuramadera Temple as a religious corporation, and passengers do not buy an ordinary ticket: they receive a 'kishin-hyō' (donation slip), which serves in effect as the ticket and is collected by the operating attendant on boarding.
