• Kyoto Tango Railway Miyafuku Line: Kita ⇄ Ōeyamaguchi-Naiku

Karakawa Station opened on 16 July 1988 as a stop on the Miyafuku Railway (now Kyoto Tango Railway) Miyafuku Line, in Miyazu, Kyoto Prefecture. From 16 March 2013 a single evening Fukuchiyama-bound rapid, Ōeyama No. 2, began calling here to accommodate middle-school siblings commuting to Miyazu; a timetable revision on 4 March 2017 dropped an evening rapid stop. On 1 April 2015 the line passed from Kitakinki Tango Railway to its current operator, WILLER TRAINS (Kyoto Tango Railway). Numbered F11, the unstaffed station sits on a hillside cut into the ridge with one side platform on the east side of the track, with north and south entrances reached by steps and a ramp, 21.3 km from Fukuchiyama.

In fiscal 2019 only about 3 passengers used the station each day; a single evening rapid train was once timed specifically to suit two middle-school siblings commuting from here.
