Hanazono Station (花園駅, Hanazono-eki) is a train station in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The station (and surrounding neighborhood) are named for Emperor Hanazono, who had a palace in the area, now the Myōshin-ji temple complex.
The elevated station has an island platform with two tracks. [1]
1 | ■ Sagano Line | for Kyoto |
2 | ■ Sagano Line | for Kameoka, Sonobe and Fukuchiyama |
Hanazono Station opened on 1 January 1898, less than one year after the opening of the Kyoto Railway (predecessor of the San'in Main Line). [2]
Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Hanazono being assigned station number JR-E06. [3] [4]
Just to the north and east is the major temple complex of Myōshin-ji, and the affiliated Hanazono University (to the east, actually closer to Emmachi Station).
