Given such a change, the JR station affairs, which had been totally commissioned to Keihan until then (transfer wickets installed within the over-track facilities) and Keihan inbound platform, which was connected to Nara Line platform (currently Platform 2) without a partition, were partitioned off.
これにより、それまで全面的に京阪に委託されていたJRの駅務が分離され(乗換改札口が橋上駅舎内に設置された)、京阪の上りホームと仕切なしでつながっていた奈良線ホーム（現在の2番のりば）との間に壁が設置された。
