History

Hikone-Serikawa Station serves the Ohmi Railway Main Line in the city of Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, 7.0 rail kilometres from the line terminus at Maibara. Construction began on 18 December 2008 and the station opened on 8 April 2009, making it the newest station on the Ohmi Railway network. It was built by Ohmi Railway alone at a cost of about ¥50 million, aimed at residents of newly developed housing in Serikawa, students commuting to nearby Hikone Sōgō High School, and visitors to the Hanashōbu-dōri shopping street. The station consists of a single 45-metre, 3-metre-wide side platform and is unstaffed. In fiscal 2019 it averaged 116 boarding passengers per day. Station number: OR05.

Notes

Hino Serika, one of the Ohmi Railway's two Tetsudō Musume mascot characters as of 2021, takes her name from the station.
