English: Incidentally, both inbound and outbound trains variously connect at Katsura Station during the above time periods, and consequently passengers have to change trains but can take limited express trains.

English: The station opened in the early Showa period, so it's difficult to install an escalator or elevator on the east ticket gate side due to the structure of the station; therefore, a conveyer is installed for passengers in wheelchairs (an elevator is provided on the west ticket gate side).

Japanese: 隣の河原町駅(京都府)へは改札外の四条通直下・線路直上の地下道で繋がっている（その間に店舗などはほとんど無い）。
English: The speed limit within the station is not designated for Karasuma Station, but this isn't common among the stations of the Hankyu Railway; consequently, passengers have to be cautious about incoming trains because the ones bound for Kawaramachi Station can enter the station at 60 km/h when the schedule is tight.
