History

Uzumasa-Kōryūji Station opened on 25 March 1910 as Uzumasa Station on the Arashiyama Densha Kidō. It was renamed Taishi-mae ("in front of the prince") around 1914, then transferred to Kyoto Dentō's Arashiyama Electric Railway on 2 April 1918 through merger, and to Keifuku Electric Railroad on 2 March 1942. The Uzumasa name was restored on 16 April 1944, and the present Uzumasa-Kōryūji form was adopted on 19 March 2007. Kōryū-ji, from which the modern name is drawn, stands immediately northwest of the stop.

Notes

The Arashiyama-bound platform doubles as a pedestrian route — shop entrances, house doors and alleys all open directly onto it — so no benches are installed there.
