In Nara Prefecture, the number of unmanned stations increases. Though Kintetsu only had 4 unmanned stations until March, 2011, it increased to 14 stations. Half of 32 stations of JR occupies unmanned stations. It is because reducing runnning costs caused by decreasing passengers. On the other hand, some people are concerned about preventing crimes.
Last October, 6 stations of Kintetsu Tawaramoto Line became unmanned stations.

4 stations must be Umeyashiki, Kasumigaoka, Family-koemmae, and Kusurimizu.
Additional 10 stations are unclear. I know that 7 out of them are 6 stations on Kintetsu Tawaramoto Line and Oada station on Kintetsu Yoshino Line.
