Omae

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

Ōmae Station opened on 7 March 1971 as the new terminus of the Agatsuma Line, which on the same day was extended westward from Naganohara (today's Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi). It has been unstaffed since opening and was absorbed into the JR East network at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The station sits at an elevation of 840.4 metres above sea level and is the westernmost ordinary-rail station in both Gunma Prefecture and the wider Kantō region. The original plan extended the line on through the centre of Tsumagoi to Toyono on what was then the Shin'etsu Main Line and is now the Shinano Railway Kita-Shinano Line, but that section was never built. The station was incorporated into the Tokyo near-suburban fare zone on 1 October 2014.

Ōmae is the westernmost ordinary-rail station in Gunma Prefecture and in the Kantō region as a whole; the line was originally planned to push on through Tsumagoi to Toyono on the present-day Kita-Shinano Line of the Shinano Railway, but that extension was never built.
