History

Keihan Zeze Station was opened on March 1, 1913 as Banba Station (馬場駅, Banba-eki). At the time, the current JR West Zeze Station was called "Ōtsu Station", so this station was sometimes referred to as Ōtsu-ekimae Station (大津駅前駅, Ōtsu-ekimae-eki). The station was renamed Zeze-ekimae Station (膳所駅前駅, Zeze-ekimae-eki) on August 20, 1937. It was renamed to its present name on April 1, 1953.
