• Tozai Line: Sanjo Keihan ⇄ Keage

Higashiyama Station (T10) is on the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tōzai Line in Ōide-chō, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto. It opened on 12 October 1997 with the rest of the Daigo–Nijō section of the Tōzai Line, with construction handled by the third-sector Kyoto Kōsoku Tetsudō. The station replaced the surface-level Higashiyama-Sanjō stop of the predecessor Keihan Keishin Line on the Sanjō-dōri street directly above, and PiTaPa IC card service began on 1 April 2007. The platform is on the third basement level, island-style with one platform and two tracks separated from the trains by platform-edge doors. The station colour assigned to it under the Tōzai Line's per-station colour scheme is "iris" (菖蒲色).

At the height of the tourist season, when road congestion in Kyoto south of the Higashiyama-Sanjō intersection is severe, passengers on the Kyoto City buses that call at the Higashiyama-Sanjō stop on their way to Kyoto Station are sometimes offered substitute transport, letting them ride the subway from Higashiyama Station to Kyoto Station instead at no extra charge; the measure is invoked case by case as conditions warrant.
