Each of the following three lines has its own Rokujizō Station facilities:

• Keihan Uji Line
• JR West Nara Line
• Kyoto Municipal Subway
  • Tōzai Line

Firstly, there is the relatively recent addition of a station at the terminus of the Subway Tozai Line that runs from Uzumasa Tenjingawa Station in Kyoto down to the southeastern part of the city.^[1] Secondly, in proximity to the municipal subway station is the station operated by West Japan Railway Company, on the Nara Line. Rapid trains from Kyoto now also stop here (in addition to the local trains) and the trip normally takes no longer than 12 minutes. Finally, approximately 150 m (490 ft) from both the subway and JR stations is the Rokujizo station operated by the Keihan Electric Railway.

The Keihan Station is on the west side across the Yamashina River is located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, while the JR and subway stations on the east side are located in Uji City, thus the stations are divided into two cities.

When the station was opened in 1913, the station was named "Rokujizo-san" because Daizenji, which is also one of the Kyoto Rokujizo (Rokujizo) in the west-northwest of the Sta., has been popular since ancient times. It was a single station of Keihan Long, in 1992, the JR station was established in the Uji City side, and the subway station was opened in 2004, and the Keihan Uji line, the Nara Line of JR West, and the railway station on the Tozai line of the subway have the same name. Rokujizō Station is the only Kyoto Municipal Subway station located outside Kyoto.

JR and subway stations are almost the same position as the ground and underground, but the Keihan station is about 400m southwest, and the two stations are contacted via a public road along the Yamashina River. The JR West station uses ICOCA, and the Keihan and subway stations are included in the use area of PiTaPa and "Slussen and Kansai". In addition, the subway station also supports the Traffica Kyoto card.

The oldest railway in this area is the Nara Line which has been operating since 1896, but the history of Rokujizō Station began with the opening of the Keihan line in 1913 because the Nara Line did not have its station in Rokujizō until 1992.

The Keihan station opened on 1 June 1913. The present-day JR West station opened on 22 October 1992,^[5] and the subway station opened on 26 November 2004.^[6]

Station numbering was introduced to the JR West platforms in March 2018 with Rokujizō being assigned station number JR-D06.^[7][8]
