History
Minami-Shiga Station opened on 15 May 1927 as a stop on the Biwako Tetsudō Kisen line between Yamagami (later abolished) and Matsunobaba. Following a corporate merger on 11 April 1929 it became part of Keihan Electric Railway's Ishiyama Sakamoto Line. A wartime merger on 1 October 1943 placed the station under Keihanshin Express Electric Railway (the present Hankyū), and a 1 December 1949 demerger returned it to Keihan, which continues to operate it. Located in Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, the station has two opposed side platforms, no station building, and is unstaffed at all times; IC-card readers serve passengers entering the platforms directly.
