Inari Station is a JR Nara Line stop in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, directly in front of Fushimi Inari Shrine and two stops from Kyoto Station. The station is small, and the shrine entrance connects right at the exit. Trains from Kyoto Station take five to seven minutes, and the station opened on August 18, 1879. There is only one ticket gate, on the down line toward Nara, so passengers heading toward Kyoto must cross an overpass.
