Location
History
Toriimoto Station opened on 15 March 1931 with the inauguration of the Ohmi Railway's Maibara–Hikone section in Shiga Prefecture, 3.4 kilometres from the line's terminus at Maibara. The Ohmi Railway absorbed the Yōkaichi Railway on 1 March 1944, after which the route was reclassified as the company's Main Line. Freight handling ended on 12 March 1988. The distinctive western-style station building with its mansard roof — in continuous use since opening — was listed as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property on 29 March 2013.
Notes
In March 2007, a continuous-piano concert held at the station to mark the 400th anniversary of Hikone Castle broke the existing Guinness World Record at 184 hours.
