Omi-Jingu-Mae Station - Otsu

Omi Jingumae Station is a station on the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line of the Keihan Electric Railway, located in Nishikori 2-chome, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. The station number is OT16. The Nishikiori garage, which is the depot of the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line, is nearby, and it can be said to be one of the core stations of the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line. The station name is "Omi Jingu-mae", but it is about a 10-minute walk to Omi Jingu. There is no station at the railroad crossing in front of the actual Omi Jingu. history May 15, 1927 --Biwako Railway Kisen Yamagami (currently abolished) --Opened as Nishikori Station when the Matsunobamba section opened.

There is no station building, and both the upper and lower lines enter the platform directly. There is an Otsu train ward on the east side of the station, and each time a train arrives, the station staff heads to the platform and collects tickets [1]. When using PiTaPa (ICOCA), hold it over a dedicated card reader to enter and exit. The effective length of the home is 2 cars. The platform number is not set. Since there is no pocket track, trains departing from and arriving at Ishiyama-dera will be turned back on the down main line and will enter the platform for Ishiyama-dera via the crossover line. In addition, due to the wiring on the premises, the train bound for Sakamoto-hiei Yamaguchi, which departs from this station, departs from the platform bound for Ishiyama-dera on the opposite side.

The nearest station to Omi Jingu. It is a simple liquid. Omi Jingu seems to be close to here, but it's a little far away, and I felt it was unexpectedly difficult to understand. Chihayafuru trains are decorated with famous scenes in the company for those who like manga, so you can enjoy it.

It is one stop by Keihan train from JR Otsukyo station. If you walk from here to Omi Jingu, you can see the ruins of Omikyo here and there. It may be good to feel Omikyo, but there is no toilet nearby, so it is better to use the toilet at this station.
