Saiin Station - Saiin Station

After getting off at Randen Saiin Station, when I tried to change trains to Shijo by Hankyu, it was not directly connected to the Randen exit, and the entrance was on the other side across the road. It may be difficult for people who do not know the land to understand.

This time, a ticket gate directly connected to Arashiden Saiin Station has been created on the east side. Some elevators have never existed. During the day, only the semi-express stops, and during the rush hour, the commuter express and the rapid express stop. This is the last station on the Kyoto side.

Standing drinks, which are close to drinkers and clerk and have a high degree of density due to the small size of the store, have an extremely high risk of infection. In the UK, standing bars have a very high risk of infection, and all standing bars have been banned from doing business in the past. The standing drink set near Hankyu Tonda is also very dense because the inside of the store is long and narrow and the passage is very narrow, so the distance between drinkers and the clerk is short. This was also a malicious store in the sense that it did not actually respond to the request from Osaka Prefecture to shorten business hours, while pretending to follow it on the surface. (From an article by Mr. Nagata, a food business consultant, "Goodbye Standing Drink, Viking ..." A restaurant that disappears in the corona society ")

Now the station has been rebuilt and renewed. In the station building in front, the wind of the landing was strong when going up and down the stairs! ️ When you go out, there is Shijo-dori directly in front of you, and the main street to the east is Nishioji-dori. There are various restaurants such as King and Bar on the back side of the station, Kushihachi on the west side of the station, and Joshin Denki on the west side of the station. Kyoto station is quite far, though. Limited express does not stop, but rapid express and commuting limited express do.

Saiin Station of Hankyu Railway, which is the closest station to large companies with technology that Japan is proud of, several famous private universities, and high schools. Therefore, the commuter limited express naturally stops during the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays, but even though it is one of the leading private railway terminals in Kyoto city, the limited express does not stop except during the rush hour. I want you to improve the station so that all limited express trains stop all day as soon as possible. Due to Hankyu's "local train" policy, we will not stubbornly implement this even if there are many requests from citizens. In the underground section of Kawaramachi-Saiin in Kyoto city, passengers get on not only limited express trains but also local trains to get first-come-first-served basis without being instructed by Hankyu! Mr. Hankyu, who is wise, thank you for your consideration. Also, despite this number of passengers, the number of main ticket vending machines on the Ukyo Ward side is small. Therefore, that part is always crowded. If you use an escalator from the ground to go underground, you will get off at the ticket vending machine, and it is dangerous because people will cross each other near the ticket gate. This is also "improvement required". The ticket gates and entrances on the Nakagyo Ward side (east side) are both convenient. Furthermore, the old-fashioned platform, which has not changed for decades, has long sections with narrow parts (in terms of direction, both the east side and the up and down side toward Kawaramachi), except for some places down the stairs on the west side. I want you to expand it in terms of safety. There is no safety fence. This is dangerous because Shijo Omiya at the eastern next station has the same structure. It seems that there is no intention to expand the underground station so far. It should be improved before a serious accident occurs. It was connected to Saiin Station on the Keifuku Electric Railroad Randen Line by stairs and elevators (but only on the Nakagyo Ward side). You can change trains without rain, but the smoothest way is from the platform for Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi to the train for Keifuku Arashiyama. The smooth transfer from the Keifuku Electric Railroad Arashiyama Line is when passengers from the Arashiyama area are bound for Hankyu's Osaka Umeda area. Even if you go in the opposite direction, you can move around by walking around in the basement of Hankyu Saiin Station. It's more convenient than before, but there are still improvements. Even at the same Saiin station, Keifuku Electric Railroad (Randen on the Arashiyama line) Saiin station was given a 5 star rating. This is the reason why only 3 stars were given to Saiin Station on Hankyu.

[Hankyu] & [Randen] → Stations that are "mutually accessible". It is a very convenient station with a high usage rate as a so-called "transfer station" and access to Arashiyama, Kawaramachi, and Osaka (*'∀` *) ? (* Note that the station name is different from [Hankyu] → “Saiin” & [Randen] → “Sai”, so it is unique (☆ ∀ ☆) ✨) It is the closest station to [Kyoto University of Foreign Studies], and there are many cafes, sweets shops, juice stands, bakery shops, etc. near this station, so it is also low for gourmet tours ?✨ In addition, the garage (of Randen) is located about ㊿m away from this station, so it has a good reputation as a “shooting spot” \ (^ ω ^) / !! (It's also emo to take a picture of a vehicle passing through a railroad crossing near this station (*'ω` *) ?)
