History
Keihan Zeze Station opened on 1 March 1913 as Banba (馬場) on the new Ōtsu Electric Tramway between today's Biwako Hamaōtsu and Zeze-Honmachi. Because the adjacent government railway station was then named Ōtsu, the stop was sometimes labelled Ōtsu-ekimae in operator literature. It was renamed Zeze-Ekimae on 20 August 1937 after the JR station took the Zeze name, then to Keihan Zeze on 1 April 1953. Successive corporate mergers carried the station through Biwako Tetsudō Kisen, Keihan, wartime Keihanshin Kyūkō and back to Keihan in 1949. Curved platforms were realigned and ICOCA-compatible gates installed in March 2018.
Notes
Keihan Zeze sits a few dozen metres from JR West's Zeze Station but the two operators have never built an interchange, leaving a short street-level walk as the only practical transfer.
