Line
Gakuen-mae Station is served by the Nara Line and is 19.1 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Fuse and 25.2 kilometers from Ōsaka Namba.
Layout
The station has two opposed side platforms and two tracks. The effective length of the platform is 10 cars. There are two ticket gates, at the north and south exits, which are connected by an underground passage inside and outside the station. The station is built on embankment, giving it the feel of an elevated station. Because it is on a hilly area, the south exit is one level lower than the north exit. It is directly connected to the Nara Kotsu bus stops on the north and south sides of the station. The station is staffed.[2]
