History
Omori Station opened on 1 April 1954 as a stop on the Chubu Electric Power Company's private rail line in present-day Kawanehon, Shizuoka, and was taken over by the Ōigawa Railway as part of its Ikawa Line on 1 August 1959. The station, 17.8 kilometres from the line's starting point at Senzu, was built mainly to supply the Ikawa Dam construction in the 1960s; at the peak around 1955 some seventeen to eighteen company camps housed roughly 200 workers nearby, and an elementary-school branch operated alongside them. After the Ikawa Dam was completed in 1957 the surrounding area was effectively depopulated, but a Chubu Electric compensation contract obliging timber haulage from the station prevented closure even after the last shipment left in February 1970.
Notes
There is no public road to Omori Station, no nearby houses, and a pair of Shigaraki-ware tanuki statues stands on the disused opposite platform; in 2009–2010 bears were sighted near the station, after which the formerly locked maintenance hut was opened up to passengers as an emergency shelter.
