• JR Wakayama Line: Funato (Wakayama) ⇄ Hoshiya

Kii-Ogura Station opened on 15 July 1938 between Funato and Hoshiya on the Wakayama Line, in the city of Wakayama, Wakayama Prefecture. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, and ICOCA support was added on 14 March 2020 by way of a simple IC-card-only exit gate at the platform. The unattended stop consists of a single side platform serving one bi-directional track and sits 77.6 kilometres from the line's terminus at Ōji. Despite its modest layout, heavy student traffic gives Kii-Ogura unusually high boarding figures for a station of its size.

Although classified as a minor halt with a single platform, Kii-Ogura sees more daily boardings than nearby Uchida Station, a stop on the rapid-train timetable, because of heavy commuting by high-school students.
