From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shijō Station (四条駅 Shijō-eki?) is a train station on the Keihan Main Line of Keihan Electric Railway. It is located in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
The station was named after Shijō Street as it is located where the railway along the bank of the Kamo River crosses Shijō Street. There are two stations along Shijō Street named Shijō; the other is on the Karasuma Line subway.
The station is scheduled to be renamed as Gion-Shijō Station (祇園四条駅?) in fiscal year 2008 (ending March 2009). [1]
