History
Roadside Station Seseragi-no-sato Kora opened on March 23, 2012, and was registered as a michi-no-eki on March 26 of the same year. National Route 307 is a trunk road linking eastern Shiga with the Iga and Kyoto areas, and this station, built along it, serves as a hub for local exchange, information sharing, and driver rest. Kora is a farming community laced with waterways and rice fields, and the name Seseragi-no-sato reflects an affection for this land's abundant water. As a relatively new roadside station, it plays a role in conveying the appeal of the region.
