Before the opening of Emmachi Station, many passengers would get off the train here at Uzumasa Station and then board another train at Randen (Keifuku) Katabiranotsuji Station on the Kitano Line in order to go to Kitano Tenman-gu Shrine or Ritsumeikan University Kinugasa Campus.
円町駅開業前は当駅で下車し、嵐電（京福）帷子ノ辻駅から北野線で北野天満宮や立命館大学衣笠校舎へ向かう利用者も多かった。
