History
Nagaokakyō Station opened on 1 August 1931 as Kōtari Station on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Mukōmachi and Yamazaki, in present-day Nagaokakyō City, Kyōto. On 19 July 1945 the station became the scene of the Kōtari Air Raid, when Allied fighters strafed the forecourt, killing a woman worker at Nippon Yusoki and injuring five others nearby. The municipality was upgraded to Nagaokakyō City on 1 October 1972, and the station took its current name on 1 September 1995 — the same day all weekday Rapid services began calling here, with all Rapid services stopping from 16 March 1996. The station had been rebuilt as a bridge-type structure in February 1987, ahead of its transfer to JR West that April. The west exit redevelopment, anchored by the Bambio complex, was completed in 2005.
Notes
The original Kōtari-era platform signboard is preserved in front of the city's Kōtari Community Hall, where it remains an exhibit.
