Location

History

Otsu-shiyakusho-mae Station is on the Keihan Electric Railway Ishiyama Sakamoto Line in Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, 8.0 km from the line terminus at Ishiyamadera. It opened on 15 May 1927 as Heiei-mae Station on the Lake Biwa Railway and Steamship line, became part of Keihan in 1929, was renamed Bessho Station in 1940, and after passing through Hankyū hands during 1943–49 returned to Keihan. On 24 September 1967 it was relocated 300 m towards Sakamoto to follow the move of Ōtsu City Hall, and on 17 March 2018 it took its current name reflecting the city-hall location.

Notes

The station's old Sakamoto-bound platform, from before the 1967 relocation, still remains.
