is a railway station on the Keihan Ōtō Line located in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
The station was named after Marutamachi Street as it is located where the railway beneath Kawabata Street crosses Marutamachi Street, and Heian Shrine (Heian Jingū) along Marutamachi Street. This is the second station along Marutamachi Street named Marutamachi; Marutamachi Station is on the Karasuma Line subway.

The station opened on October 5, 1989, when the Ōtō Line started operation.
The station was renamed from on October 19, 2008, the date of opening of the Nakanoshima Line.[2] [3]
