History

Torii-mae Station is a station on the Kintetsu Ikoma Cable Line (Hōzanji Line) at Motomachi 1-chōme, Ikoma, Nara Prefecture, opened on 29 August 1918 as a station of the Ikoma Cable Railway. Its station number is Y17. It is an interchange station connected to Ikoma Station (A17/G17/C27) on the Kintetsu Nara Line, Ikoma Line, and Keihanna Line. The station's name comes from the first torii gate of the nearby Hōzanji temple, which was relocated onto the temple grounds in 1982 as part of redevelopment in front of the station. It became a station of the Osaka Electric Tramway (later Kintetsu) on 25 January 1922, and the line was doubled as far as Hōzanji Station on 30 December 1926. The No. 2 Hōzanji line was suspended and reduced to single track when wartime equipment was requisitioned in July 1944, but it resumed operation and was redoubled on 1 April 1953. On 20 July 1979 the station was relocated 70 metres toward Ikomasanjō. It has a distinctive comb-shaped platform arrangement with three platform faces and two tracks, and is the only station on the line with a sloped, rather than stepped, platform.

Notes

Because this is the only station on the Ikoma Cable Line whose platform is sloped rather than stepped, a triangular difference in level arises between the train doors and the platform.
