History

Hankyu Saiin Station (2006)

Saiin Station opened as Script error: No such module "Nihongo". on 1 November 1928. At the time of opening, the station was the terminus of the Shinkeihan Railway, a former operator of the Hankyu Kyoto Line. On 31 March 1931, when the underground extension from Saiin to Keihan Kyoto Station (present-day Ōmiya Station) was completed, the station was moved from the ground level to the underground facilities and renamed Saiin Station.

Station numbering was introduced to all Hankyu stations on 21 December 2013 with this station being designated as station number HK-83.[4]

At the time of the construction, a plan was tabled to link Saiin Station with the smaller and older Sai Station (located one-minute walking distance east on Shijo street) by means of an underground path, but the plan was eventually scrapped, due to strong opposition from people living in the area.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The underground path was under construction until 2017.[5]
