However, this station was named as such because, in 1902, a new road (current Jujo-dori Street) connecting the vicinity of the station with Toba-kaido Road was constructed, making it possible to pass through to Toba-kaido Road, and it seems that the station was named after the fact that it was the nearest station to Toba-kaido Road.
にも拘らずこのような駅名が付けられたのは、1902年に当駅付近から鳥羽街道までの間を結ぶ新道（現在の十条通）が通じ、鳥羽街道に出ることが可能になったことから、その最寄り駅として命名されたためと考えられる。
