Zeze Station, Railway station in Ōtsu, Japan
Zeze Station is an over-track railway station on the JR Biwako Line in Shiga Prefecture, featuring two island platforms beneath a covered structure. The building spans across the tracks and provides passenger access from multiple sides of the facility.
The station originally opened in 1880 as Baba Station and underwent several name changes before being renamed to its current name in 1934. These transitions reflect the evolution of local transportation networks and regional development.
The station serves as a daily transit hub for commuters living in and around Ōtsu, linking the city to surrounding areas. Passengers rely on this interchange to travel between different parts of the region for work and leisure.
The station provides accessible facilities for passengers with reduced mobility across both platforms. Visitors should follow signage carefully to find the correct platform side for their destination.
The station sits directly beside Keihan Zeze Station without any physical bridge or corridor connecting them. This arrangement allows two separate railway companies to operate side by side at the same location.
