The Keihan Keishin Line uses the same tracks as the Tozai Line. They originally planned to share the tracks to this station because the Keihan Keishin Line ran between Misasagi Station and this station, which was above ground at the time. However, as they were unable to secure enough space around this area for a turnaround, the Keihan Keishin Line decided to extend the shared section to the next station, Kyoto Shiyakusyo-mae, when Sanjyo-Keihan Station was opened. (They later extended the shared section even further to Uzumasa Tenjingawa Station when the Tozai Line was extended to that station in 2008.)
なお、東西線に乗り入れている京阪京津線は元々御陵駅よりこの駅の地上を走っていたことから、当初はこの駅までの乗り入れを予定していたが、この付近では折返し運転をするのに必要なスペースが確保できなかったため、開業時は一つ先の京都市役所前駅までの乗り入れとなった（その後、2008年に東西線が太秦天神川駅へ延長された時に、同駅まで乗り入れ区間が延長されている）。
