“This station used to have a different name, did you know?” The Minase Station, a humble structure perched above the bustling streets, might not seem like much at first glance. But like many places in Kyoto, Minase Station holds a story. Originally called “Sugiido Station”, it was renamed Minase Station in 1948. This change wasn’t just about picking a new name. It reflected the station’s historical connection to the Minase clan, a powerful family who once resided in this area. Their presence can still be felt in the local folklore and the quiet dignity of the surrounding streets. Even today, Minase Station serves as a poignant reminder of the area’s rich past, a place where the echoes of samurai footsteps mingle with the modern hum of commuter trains.
