Unlike the case where Hinooka Station remained although it was integrated into Misasagi Station, there had been no plan to set up an alternative station of Kujoyama Station since the early planning stages because it was expected to be a killer construction project and no prospect of many users was seen, despite the fact that residents near Kujoyama Station had been requesting the establishment of an alternative subway station.
日ノ岡駅が御陵駅に統合される形で残ったのとは違って、代替駅の建設予定がなかった九条山駅周辺住民からは地下鉄駅設置の要望が出ていたが、難工事が予想された上に利用者が余り見込めないことから、計画段階当初より代替駅を建設する意思はなかった。
