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

Takaragaike Station is an interchange between the Eizan Main Line and the Kurama Line in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, sharing station number E06. It opened on 27 September 1925 as Yamabana Station (山端駅) on the Kyoto Dentō-operated Eizan flat line. The Kurama Electric Railway opened its Yamabana–Ichihara section on 1 December 1928, making the station a junction. Operation passed to Keifuku Electric Railroad on 2 March 1942, and Kurama Electric Railway was absorbed on 1 August 1942 so both lines came under one operator. Sections were singled for wartime material requisitions in 1944 and progressively redoubled between 1951 and 1958. The station was renamed Takaragaike on 10 June 1954, and the line was transferred to Eizan Electric Railway on 1 April 1986.

When the station's canopy posts were repainted in 2009, one post on the platform showing the kana "やまばな" (the former station name Yamabana) was deliberately left under a clear protective coat, with an interpretive sign installed alongside it as a memento of the original station name.
