History
The Otsu Railway opened the Hamaotsu to Awazu section in 1913, electrified at 600 V DC.{{cite book| last = Terada| first = Hirokazu |script-title=ja: データブック日本の私鉄 |trans-title=Databook: Japan's Private Railways| publisher = Neko Publishing| date = July 2002| location = Japan| pages = 253–254| isbn = 4-87366-874-3}} The line was extended to Ishiyamadera (as single track) the following year.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}
The Hamaotsu to Miidera section opened in 1922 (dual track electrified), and in 1927 the company merged with a tourist boat operator to become the Biwako Railway & Steamship Co., which extended the line to Sakamoto the same year.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}
Keihan acquired the company in 1929 (and divested the steamship component immediately), connecting the line to its Keishin line in 1939.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}
The Awazu to Ishiyama section was double-tracked in 1943, but in 1945 the Sakamoto to Shigasato section was singled and the rails recycled for the Japanese war effort. The dual track was reinstated in 1947.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}
The voltage was increased to 1,500 V DC in conjunction with the voltage upgrade on the Keishin line.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}
