History

Ōshō Station opened on 25 April 1921 as a halt of the Toyama Prefectural Railway, and became part of Toyama Chihō Railway in 1943 through the wartime consolidation of regional operators. Freight handling ended on 1 August 1969, and the station was destaffed on 1 August 1997. On 6 November 2005 the original 1921 wooden station building burned down after a fire spread from the waiting room in strong winds; a barrier-free replacement was completed on 20 February 2006. The station now serves as an unstaffed single-platform stop on the Kamidaki Line, designated T68.

Notes

Of four cherry trees planted around the station when it opened in 1921, two adjacent to the building were scorched in the 2005 fire; only two of the original four remain today.
