Location

History

Daigaku-mae Station (OR27) is on the Ohmi Railway Main Line (Minakuchi–Gamōno Line) in Fuse-chō, Higashiōmi, Shiga, 28.4 km from the line's terminus at Maibara. It opened on 29 March 1990 between Hasenō and Sakuragawa stations as a petition station requested by Yōkaichi City to serve the newly-opened Shiga Bunka Junior College (today Biwako Gakuin University), and the entire construction cost of 17.95 million yen was borne by the city. It is an unstaffed single-side platform station with no proper station building — only a modest old-style roof and benches.

Notes

On days when MIO Biwako Shiga (now Reilac Shiga FC) played official matches at the Nunobiki athletics stadium in Higashiōmi, special invitation tickets for the stadium were once handed out at Daigaku-mae Station as a way to drive rail patronage.
