Coming up from the underground station, we find ourselves at Higashiyama Sanjo (the intersection of Sanjo-dori Street and Higashioji-dori Street), which is why this station is often used as a base for tours of the surrounding area, including Heian-jingu Shrine and Okazaki Park (Kyoto City).
地上へあがると東山三条（三条通と東大路通の交差点）で、平安神宮など岡崎公園(京都市)一帯の観光拠点として利用されている。
