Being the station nearest to Kyoto University Hospital and University Hospital, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, this station was provided, even at the very start, with barrier-free measures such as two elevators for physically handicapped persons (one between the ground level and the concourse and the other between the concourse area inside the gate and platform), a multipurpose lavatory, a Braille guide map and a Braille fare table.
京都大学医学部付属病院・府立医大付属病院への最寄り駅ということも有り、開業時から身障者対応エレベーター2基（地上とコンコース・改札内コンコースとホームに各1基）・多目的トイレ・点字案内図、点字料金表などのバリアフリー対策が施された。
