The station has no renowned historical sites in its immediate surroundings, but Tango-Kokubun-ji Temple and Izumo-Daijingu Shrine are about 15 minutes away by bicycle after crossing the Katsura-gawa River; also, crossing National Route 9 and walking five minutes westward takes one to Kameyama Municipal Chiyokawa Elementary School, where the gate of (Tamba-no-kuni) Kameyama-jo Castle has been relocated.
駅の周りには有名な史跡はないが、桂川を渡り自転車で東へ15分ほどいくと、丹波国分寺、出雲大神宮が、国道9号線を渡り西へ5分ほどの位置に、亀山城_(丹波国)城門が移設された亀岡市立千代川小学校がある。
