Marutamachi Station (Keihan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marutamachi Station (丸太町駅, Marutamachi-eki^?) is a railway station on the Keihan Ōtō Line located in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan.

The station was named after Marutamachi Street as it is located where the railway beneath Kawabata Street crosses Marutamachi Street. This is the second station along Marutamachi Street named Marutamachi; the other is on the Karasuma Line subway.

The station is scheduled to be renamed as Jingū-Marutamachi Station (神宮丸太町駅, Jingū-Marutamachi Station^?) in fiscal year 2008 (ending March 2009). ^[1]
