Location
History
Hanazono Station serves the Sagano Line (San'in Main Line) in Ukyō-ku, Kyoto, and is operated by JR West. It opened on 1 January 1898, less than a year after the Kyoto Railway began service, and was elevated to a high-track station in 1996. The station and the surrounding neighbourhood take their name from Emperor Hanazono, whose former palace site is now the Myōshin-ji temple complex just north and east of the station. Station number JR-E06 was assigned in March 2018.
Notes
A spur line ran from the Shimadzu factory in Yamanouchi to Hanazono Station for several years from 1946; postwar maps still show traces of the alignment.
