Lines

[edit]

Ōmijingūmae Station is a station of the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line, and is 9.1 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Ishiyamadera.

Station layout

[edit]

The station consists of two opposed unnumbered side platforms connected by a level crossing. There is no station building and the station is unattended. The station is located next to Nishigori Depot. Trains terminating at this station return to the east side platform from the through track to Sakamoto in the north of the station to start for Ishiyamadera because there is no siding track at the station, and the east side platform serves the trains starting from this station for Sakamoto because there is no connection from the depot to the west side platform for Sakamoto.
