Location

History

Ōgo Station opened on 10 November 1928 as part of the original Jōmō Line and remains the operational heart of the line, with the railway's only train depot adjoining it. The Jōmō Electric Railway originally held a licence to extend from Ōgo to Honjō, but ran out of capital and abandoned the project, so Ōgo instead settled into its role as the station where trains stable overnight. On 31 July 2007 the Agency for Cultural Affairs designated the station building together with the train shed, transformer house, receiving tower, and other electrical-infrastructure structures as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties.

Notes

The Ōgo train depot adjoining the station is listed as a Japan Society of Civil Engineers Selected Civil Engineering Heritage site, as part of the group of Jōmō Electric Railway related facilities.
