[edit] History

The station was opened by Nara Electric Railway (奈良電気鉄道, Nara Denki Tetsudō^?) as Jōnangūmae Station (城南宮前駅, Jōnangūmae-eki^?) on November 15, 1928 when the railway started the operation between Kyoto and Momoyamagoryō-mae stations. On April 1, 1940 the station renamed Takeda Station. Nara Electric Railway was merged into Kintetsu on October 1, 1963 so that the station belonged Kintetsu since then.

On June 11, 1988 when the extension of the Karasuma Line subway was completed the station was moved to its current site where is about 350 meters north of the original location and was expanded to serve both Kintetsu and subway lines. At this time the station was handed from Kintetsu to the transportation bureau.
