• JR Kosei Line: Ōmi-Nakashō ⇄ Shin-Asahi

Ōmi-Imazu Station opened on 20 July 1974 with the inauguration of the JNR Kosei Line, in what is now Takashima, Shiga Prefecture. The station became part of JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR, and ICOCA service began on 21 October 2006, requiring the addition of a new signal on track 2 to handle the coupling and decoupling of trains continuing north to Tsuruga. Station numbering was introduced in March 2018, assigning JR-B14. The staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed on 30 September 2025 and was replaced the following day by a Midori-no-Kenbaiki Plus machine.

Ōmi-Imazu is the only Kosei Line station built so trains can reverse direction back toward Ōmi-Shiotsu, which is why most JR West Special Rapid Service trains to and from Tsuruga couple and decouple cars here — northern platforms beyond Ōmi-Shiotsu can only handle four-car trains.
