Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Oboro Station opened on 1 December 1917 as a general station with the Ministry of Railways' extension of the Kushiro Main Line (later the Nemuro Main Line) between Kushiro and Hama-Akkeshi. Freight handling was withdrawn in October 1971, parcel handling ended and the station passed to simple-consignment (unstaffed) operation in 1984, and the station building was replaced by a converted caboose in 1986. JR Hokkaido inherited the stop at the 1987 JNR privatisation, and the simple-consignment arrangement was wound up later in the 1990s, leaving it fully unstaffed. The station is on the long list of low-ridership halts JR Hokkaido proposed for abolition in June 2023.

The waiting room is a converted railway caboose, installed in 1986 when the previous station building was put up for public auction and replaced.
