History
Keihan-Ōtsukyō Station (OT15) is a Keihan Ishiyama-Sakamoto Line stop in Ōjigaoka 2-chōme, Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, located directly under the elevated tracks of JR West's Ōtsukyō Station on the Kosei Line. It opened on 1 March 1946 as Ōjiyama Station under Keihanshin Express Electric Railway, between the former Yamagami (closed the same day) and Sazanami (closed 1944) stations. The station became part of Keihan Electric Railway in 1949 after the company split, was rebuilt in 1956, and was moved 52 m north to a site under the JR Kosei Line viaduct on 18 March 2006 because of a road construction project. On 17 March 2018 it was renamed from Ōjiyama to Keihan-Ōtsukyō to encourage transfers with the adjacent JR station.
Notes
Keihan-Ōtsukyō was renamed from Ōjiyama in 2018 specifically to promote interchange with JR West's Ōtsukyō Station above — yet the two stations are not physically connected, and passengers must leave one to enter the other.
