Tarōbōgū-mae Station is a railway station in Higashiōmi, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Although the Ohmi Railway Company uses the name Tarōbōgū-mae (long sound for the first "o") on its web page, the actual station signage shown on that page says Tarobōgū-mae (short sound for the first "o") in Japanese script. Both readings may be accepted. The station was renamed after Tarōbō-gū, also known as Aga-jinja(阿賀神社), a shinto shrine near the station on April 1, 1998.
