• Kintetsu Nara Line: Shinomiya (Nara)

Kintetsu Nara Station opened on 30 April 1914 as the eastern terminus of the Osaka Electric Tramway, initially called Nara Station. It served as a surface terminus on a street-running alignment reached by interurban trams from Osaka, and was renamed in turn Daiki Nara (1928), Kankyu Nara (1941), Kinki Nippon Nara (1944), and finally Kintetsu Nara on 1 March 1970. In December 1969, ahead of the 1970 Osaka Expo, the station and the approach from Aburasaka were moved underground; the surface site was redeveloped as the Nara Kintetsu Building. The station is the terminus of the Nara Line and the primary city-centre access point for Nara, served by limited and rapid expresses from Kyoto and Osaka Namba.

The four-track underground terminus is the only underground railway station in Nara Prefecture.
