JR West will begin improvement works at Yamashina Station starting the fiscal year 2025.
A platform capable of accommodating 12-car trains will be constructed on the north side of the station along the ascending tracks, and a turnaround track will be added on the east side of the station. In addition, the limited express ‘Haruka’, currently operating to and from Kyoto Station, will be extended to Yamashina Station. As a transfer station for the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line, this initiative, in collaboration with Kyoto City, aims to promote the use of public transportation by making Yamashina Station the eastern gateway to Kyoto.
The start of facility operations and the extension of the limited express ‘Haruka’ are scheduled for the fiscal year 2029.
