Tōjiin Ritsumeikan University Station
Japan
Tōjiin Ritsumeikan University Station (, Tōjiin Ritsumeikan-Daigaku-Kinugasa-Kyampasu-mae-eki) is a tram stop in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The station is serviced by the Randen Kitano Line that begins at Katabiranotsuji and continues to Kitano-Hakubaichō. It was once the longest-named train station in Japan, with 26 hiragana characters, until it was surpassed by Toyota Mobility Toyama G Square Gofuku-mae in Toyama in 2021. The station was renamed from Tojiin Station on March 20, 2020 in order to reflect its proximity to the main Kinugasa Campus of Ritsumeikan University. It was reported that while train operator Keifuku had considered shortening the new station name, they decided against it after discovering it would become the longest-named train station in the country.
