• Kintetsu Yoshino Line: Kashiharajingū-Mae ⇄ Asuka

Okadera Station opened on 5 December 1923 in present-day Kashihara, Nara Prefecture, on the new Yoshino Railway between Yoshinoguchi and the original Kashiharajingū-mae. Osaka Electric Tramway absorbed the Yoshino Railway on 1 August 1929; subsequent wartime mergers transferred the station to Kansai Express Railway on 15 March 1941 and to Kintetsu on 1 June 1944. The Yoshino Line carries the station number F43. PiTaPa was introduced on 1 April 2007 and automatic ticket gates in March 2010. The station became fully unstaffed on 21 December 2012. Despite the name, Oka-dera temple itself lies about 3.5 km east and is not served by buses from the station.

Although the station is named for Oka-dera, the temple itself recommends visitors arrive via Kashiharajingū-mae Station because no bus route links Okadera Station to the temple grounds.
