Tourists use the station by associating the name of Uzumasa with 'Toei Movie Land (Kyoto Uzumasa Eigamura)'; moreover, houses and other buildings stand around the station, so the number of passengers is relatively large in comparison to the station.
「映画村の太秦」の印象で利用する観光客の他にも、近辺に住宅などが建ち並んでいるということもあって、駅規模の割に利用客は比較的多い。
