History
Kyocera-mae Station, in the city of Higashiōmi in Shiga Prefecture, opened on 16 March 1991 on the Ohmi Railway Main Line. The station was built to serve the Kyocera Corporation's Shiga Gamō Factory, located a short walk away, and takes its name ("In front of Kyocera") directly from that purpose. It is 29.9 rail kilometres from the line's terminus at Maibara. The unstaffed station consists of a single side platform serving a single bi-directional track, with no station building — only a basic shelter on the platform itself. It is one of several stations on the privately operated Ohmi Railway built primarily to provide commuter access to an adjacent industrial facility.
