Lines

edit

Sōjiji Station is served by the Hankyu Kyoto Line, and is located 16.2 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Jūsō and 18.6 kilometers from Osaka-umeda.

Layout

edit

The station consists of two opposed side platforms. Because it is on a slope, the Awaji side of the platform is on an embankment. The west ticket gate is on the lower level than the platform, near the Awaji side of the inbound (Kyoto Kawaramachi direction) platform. There is also an east ticket gate on the platform side of the outbound train (towards Osaka-Umeda), but there is no automatic ticket vending machine.
