The platforms can't be extended to accommodate eight-car trains because, with the lengths of the platforms being limited, some spaces on them whose length corresponds to that of a train car were used in constructing the stairs between each platform and the over-track station house, and an overpass of the Nakayama-Inari Line of Kyoto Prefectural Route 201 exists on the south side of the platforms.
これは当駅のホームの幅が狭く、橋上駅舎への階段で1両分のホームの用地が犠牲になっており、またホーム南側も京都府道201号中山稲荷線の古い跨線橋が跨っているため8両編成分のホームに延伸できないからである。
