History
The station opened on April 15, 1910, when Keihan Electric Railway opened its first section between Gojō in Kyoto and Temmabashi in Osaka. The name of the station was originally Momoyama Station (桃山駅 Momoyama-eki). On July 29, 1913, the station was renamed in order to clarify that the station is not convenient for the newly raised Fushimi Momoyama Tomb of Emperor Meiji, the nearest station of which is Fushimi-Momoyama Station (as renamed from Fushimi in 1915).[2]
Tambabashi Station was promoted to a limited express stop on July 1, 2000. Since then all types of trains on the Keihan Main Line make stop at the station.[3]
Between 1945 and 1968 the station served trains of the Kintetsu Kyoto Line (Nara Electric Railway until 1963). For details, see the article "Kintetsu-Tambabashi Station".
