context_page_description: Kitano-Hakubaichō Station is a station in Kita-ku, Kyoto, Japan, operated by Keifuku Electric Railroad. It has two bay platform tracks.
context_section_description: Kitano-Hakubaicho Station began operations on October 1, 1943 under the name Hakubaicho Station. The Randen Kitano Line, which this station serves,  opened in 1925 between Takaoguchi Station (the current Utano Station) and Kitano (near Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, no longer in operation). The opening of the Kyoto City Tram Nishioji Line resulted in the construction of Hakubaicho Station to serve as a transfer station. However, when the portion between Kitano and Hakubaicho closed, Hakubaicho station was renamed Kitano-Hakubaicho and from then on served as the terminal station for the Kitano Line. The Nishioji Line closed in 1978 when the city ended all operations of the Kyoto City Tram.
