History

This JR station opened as Baba Station when the railway extended from Kyoto to the lakeside port of Ōtsu on July 15, 1880. At this time, the stations en route were (from Ōtsu) Ishiba, Baba, Yamashina, Ōtani and Inari. When the last section of the Tōkaidō railway completed on July 1, 1889, the railway from the east connected at Baba, leaving the branch between Baba and Ōtsu. On June 1, 1913, Ōtsu Station and Baba Station were renamed as Hamaōtsu and Ōtsu. On August 1, 1921, the new route between Ōtsu and Kyoto was opened. New Ōtsu Station and Yamashina Station opened en route and the former Ōtsu Station became a freight terminal named Zeze. Zeze Station resumed passenger services on September 15, 1934.^[1]
