Takeda Station (竹田駅 Takeda-eki?) is a railway station in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The station is managed by Kyoto Municipal Transportation Bureau which controls the municipal Karasuma Line subway.
The station is a junction of the following two railway lines:
The station is an intermediate station on the former and the southern terminal station of the latter. The two operators jointly provide through services between the two lines.
The station has two island platforms and four tracks. This is the sole subway station on the ground level in the Kyoto Subway system while all other stations are located underground.
The station was opened by Nara Electric Railway (奈良電気鉄道 Nara Denki Tetsudō?) as Jōnangūmae Station (城南宮前駅 Jōnangūmae-eki?) on November 15, 1928, when the railway started the operation between Kyoto and Momoyamagoryō-mae stations. On April 1, 1940, the station renamed Takeda Station. Nara Electric Railway was merged into Kintetsu Railway on October 1, 1963, so that the station belonged Kintetsu since then.
