History
Okegawa Station opened on 1 March 1885 as a private Nippon Railway stop in what is now the city of Okegawa, Saitama. The line was nationalised on 1 November 1906 and formally became part of the Takasaki Line under the 1909 line-naming reform. Freight handling ended on 1 May 1973 and the present overhead station building was completed in November 1982. A Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office opened in March 1986. The station became part of JR East at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987; automatic ticket gates entered service in February 1995, and Suica IC cards became usable in November 2001.
Notes
The area in front of Okegawa Station is too cramped for large route buses to turn around, so a dedicated turntable is provided at the bus stop to turn them.
