The station number is B11.[1] It is the closest station to the old Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant, which is the site of the Nintendo Museum.[2]
Ogura Station is served by the Kyoto Line, and is located 11.4 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kyoto Station.[3]
Station layout
The station consists two opposed side platforms, with an effective platform length of six cars. Because there are no overpasses or underpasses connecting the two platforms, each has its own ticket gate and restroom (though there is a pedestrian-only underground passage outside the ticket gates). The station is staffed.[4]
