Heijō Station (平城駅, Heijō-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Nara, Nara Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company, Kintetsu Railway.
Line
Heijō Station is served by the Kyoto Line and is 33.5 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Kyoto.
Layout
The station consists two opposing side platforms and two tracks. The effective length of the platform is six cars because express trains make special stops during the Nara Velodrome race. The ticket gates and concourse are underground, while the platform is above ground. There is only one ticket gate. There is one entrance on the platform 1 side and two entrances on the platform 2 side. Before the station was made underground, there was a small station building on the Kyoto side of platform 1, which was connected to platform 2 by a level crossing within the premises. When Velodrome races were held, a special ticket gate was set up in the middle of platform 2, close to the velodrome. The station is staffed.
