History
Nakanoshō Station opened on 1 May 1913 with the Ōtsu Electric Tramway's extension from Zeze (today's Zezehommachi) to Beppō (today's Awazu). Successive mergers transferred the stop to Biwako Tetsudō Kisen in 1927, to Keihan Electric Railway in 1929, and into Keihanshin Kyūkō (Hankyu's wartime predecessor) on 1 October 1943. Operation was suspended on 15 May 1945 as a wartime transport-rationalisation measure and resumed on 2 December 1945. With the 1 December 1949 separation, Keihan once again took over. The station, on the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line, sits 3.3 km from the terminus at Ishiyamadera and carries station number OT06.
