Ōmachi Station opened on 20 August 1994 in Asaminami Ward, Hiroshima, when the new Astram Line of Hiroshima Rapid Transit began operation. A JR West Kabe Line station was infilled at the same site on the same day to allow transfers; together they replaced the earlier nearby Yasu Station, suspended in 1943 and never restored. The two buildings stand separately, linked by an overpass: a Kabe Line side platform and an Astram Line elevated island platform. The station was an Astram express stop from 1999 to 2004 and a Kabe Line rapid stop from 2004 to 2012, but only all-stop trains call there today. On 1 May 2026 JR ended on-site staffing for remote intercom support.

A pre-war predecessor named Yasu Station once stood near this site but was suspended in 1943 and never reopened; Ōmachi effectively inherited its role on the Kabe Line after a half-century gap.
