• Kintetsu Nara Line: Gakuemmae (Nara) ⇄ Yamatosaidaiji

Ayameike Station was opened in September 1923 by the Osaka Electric Tramway and was reclassified from a temporary to a permanent station in September 1924. It became a Kansai Kyūkō Railway (Kankyū) station in 1941 and ultimately came under Kintetsu Railway operation. The station lies in the city of Nara, Nara Prefecture, on the Nara Line, 20.1 km from the line's starting point at Fuse and 26.2 km from Osaka Namba. Layout is two opposing side platforms serving two tracks, with separate ticket gates for each platform and no in-fare-area cross-platform connection.

The former site of the Kintetsu Ayameike Amusement Park, which closed on 6 June 2004, sits among the station's immediate surroundings, along with Kinki University's elementary school and kindergarten. The station is staffed, offers bicycle parking, and is accessible; in fiscal 2022 it was used by an average of 10,997 boarding passengers a day.
