History
Higashi-Ōgaki Station opened on 20 March 1956 with the Japanese National Railways Tarumi Line between Ōgaki and Tanigumiguchi, handling both passengers and freight. Freight services were withdrawn on 20 August 1964 and parcel handling ceased on 31 March 1971, at which point the station was de-staffed. On 6 October 1984 the Tarumi Line was transferred to the third-sector Tarumi Railway, which has operated the station ever since. The ground-level station has one island platform serving two tracks. The crossing siding was once dismantled during JNR rationalisation but was reinstated at the 1984 transfer to allow trains to pass. A mortar-finished station building, its entrance on the gable end, survives.
Notes
The mortar station house preserves a tablet block instrument of the type used across the Tarumi Line, kept inside the building as a memento of the tablet block working that ended in 1988.
