History
Omurai Station opened on 15 April 1928 on Tobu Railway's Kameido Line, a 3.4 km branch running between Hikifune and Kameido in what is now Bunka 2-chome, Sumida Ward. The name comes from the former Minami-Katsushika County village of Omurai-mura, which existed as a discrete municipality until the 1889 municipal-system reform and continued as Ōaza Omurai within Azuma-machi until 1930, even though it no longer appears in current address designations. Station numbering was introduced across the Tobu network on 17 March 2012, with Omurai assigned TS-41. Two intermediate stations once stood between Omurai and Hikifune — Jukkenbashi-dōri, the nearer to Omurai, and Torahashi-dōri beyond it — but both have since closed.
Notes
Omurai is the third-busiest station on the Tobu Kameido Line after Hikifune and Kameido, and the busiest of the line's purely intermediate stops, even though its namesake village stopped appearing in administrative addresses in 1930.
