History

Ōichi Station opened on 23 December 1931 with the Ministry of Railways' extension of the then-Kishin Line between Amarube and Higashi-Hashizaki, in what is now Himeji, Hyōgo Prefecture. The line was renamed Kishin-Higashi in 1934 and re-merged as the Kishin Line in 1936; on 10 October 1936 it became part of today's Kishin Line. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1961, parcel service on 1 March 1971, and the station was de-staffed on 1 November 1986. It passed to West Japan Railway Company (JR West) at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. ICOCA service began on 26 March 2016 with simple-type IC card readers, and a new station building entered service on 21 March 2021.

Notes

When the new station building opened in 2021 it replaced a wooden building; on the old site, the local company Kansai Rikuun built its headquarters in October 2021 and opened it to station users with toilets and a café.
