Opened

1921 - 1923

Tracks

Double track

Oddities:
The Kashihara and Ōsaka lines cross on different levels in Yamato-Yagi. The through LEX trains Kyōto - Kashikojima use therefore an alternative route into the Yamato-Yagi station - diverting from the normal line 1 km north of the station.
There is also a bypasstrack from Ōsaka line towards Kashihara-jingūmae - not used by regular trains. Yamato-Yagi and Yagi-nishiguchi are counted as one station due to historical reasons.
