History

Biwako-Hamaōtsu Station was opened on July 15, 1880 as Ōtsu Station (大津駅, Ōtsu-eki) on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Tōkaidō Main Line . The private Ōtsu Electric Railway began operations to the station in 1913, the same year that the Tōkaidō Main Line was rerouted to bypass this station and JGR operations ceased. The station was renamed Hamaōtsu Station (浜大津駅, Hamaōtsu-eki) on June 1, 1913. It was renamed again to its present name on March 17, 2018.
