Notes
The station takes its name from Ryūmon-no-taki, a waterfall on the nearby Egawa River about five minutes' walk away; close to the falls stand the Ryūmon Furusato Folk Crafts Hall and Taihei-ji, the latter housing the grave of "Hebi-hime" (Snake Princess) — the heroine of Kawaguchi Matsutarō's novel.
