History
Nishiki Station opened on 1 March 1913 as part of the Ōtsu Electric Tramway between Ōtsu (today's Biwako-Hamaōtsu) and Zeze (today's Zezehommachi). Successive mergers transferred the stop to Biwako Tetsudō Kisen in 1927, to Keihan Electric Railway in 1929, and to Keihanshin Kyūkō (the predecessor of Hankyu) in 1943. Service was suspended on 15 August 1944 and did not resume until 1 September 1959, a decade after Keihan was re-separated from Keihanshin in 1949. The platforms and shelter were rebuilt in October 1966. The station, on the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line 4.2 km from Ishiyamadera, carries station number OT08.
