Even after that, this has officially remained the station of the Kansai Main Line; however, in practice the Nara and Tennoji side and Kameyama side of this station are distinctly referred to as 'Yamatoji Line' and 'Kansai Main Line' respectively, and this station is treated as the transfer station between the 'Yamatoji Line' and the 'Kansai Main Line' in the guidance announced on trains.
これ以降も正式な線路名称上では関西本線単独駅であることは変わらないものの、案内上では、当駅から奈良・天王寺方面を「大和路線」、亀山方面を「関西本線」と呼称を分けており、車内放送でも当駅が「大和路線」と「関西本線」の乗換駅として扱われている。
