Nijō Station (二条駅 Nijō-eki?) is a train station in Nakagyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan.

The station has one elevated island platform between two tracks. The station building was designed by Urabesekkei, an architectural firm based in Osaka. Prior to the platform elevation, the station was only accessible from the east (Sembon Street side), but the station renovation made it accessible from both the east and west sides.

The design elements of the former station building were evocative of nearby Nijo-jo castle. The building was dismantled and rebuilt at the Kyoto Railway Museum (then called the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum) in 1996.


Subway station has one underground island platform with two tracks, separated by platform screen doors.


Nijō Station opened on February 15, 1897 and was the terminus of the Kyoto Railway (present-day San'in Main Line) until April 27 of the same year. The Tōzai Line subway opened on October 12, 1997.
