History
Miidera Station opened on May 7, 1922 when Otsu Electric Tramway extended its tracks from Hamaotsu, with Miidera serving initially as the terminus. Successive mergers placed the line under Biwako Railway and Steamship in 1927, Keihan Electric Railway in 1929, and the wartime Keihanshin Express Electric Railway (later Hankyu) in 1943; in 1949 Keihan was re-spun off and the stop returned to Keihan ownership. Today the station serves the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line as stop OT13, 7.2 km from the line terminus at Ishiyamadera. It has two opposed side platforms with separate exits and no interconnection between them, and is unattended.
