History
Okamoto opened on 21 December 1926 as a station on the original Kotohira Electric Railway, and became a Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad (Kotoden) Kotohira Line station through the 1 November 1943 wartime merger.
Notes
Okamoto was once a staffed turn-back station with an amusement park out front run by Kotoden, and was also a stop for the semi-express trains; today the semi-express service is discontinued and the destination column for Okamoto was removed from the trains' rollsigns when these were updated to a roman-script-compatible version. The wide forecourt out front is a legacy of the bus services that once turned back here, and the second platform retains an outbound starting signal as a reminder of the now-abolished Okamoto turn-back trains.
