Keihan-zeze

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Keihan Zeze Station opened on 1 March 1913 as Banba (馬場) on the new Ōtsu Electric Tramway between today's Biwako Hamaōtsu and Zeze-Honmachi. Because the adjacent government railway station was then named Ōtsu, the stop was sometimes labelled Ōtsu-ekimae in operator literature. It was renamed Zeze-Ekimae on 20 August 1937 after the JR station took the Zeze name, then to Keihan Zeze on 1 April 1953. Successive corporate mergers carried the station through Biwako Tetsudō Kisen, Keihan, wartime Keihanshin Kyūkō and back to Keihan in 1949. Curved platforms were realigned and ICOCA-compatible gates installed in March 2018.

Keihan Zeze stands immediately in front of JR West's Zeze Station, but the two stations are not physically connected and there is no interchange between them, so transferring means leaving the gates and walking between the two.
