• JR Ako Line: Kagato ⇄ Oku (Okayama)

Osafune Station opened on 1 September 1962 as part of the Japanese National Railways extension of the Akō Line between Ibe and Higashi-Okayama. The station lies in the city of Setouchi, Okayama Prefecture, 42.3 km from the Akō Line terminus at Aioi and 31.8 km from Banshū-Akō. It became a JR West station with the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, and ICOCA card support was introduced in stages from September 2007. The staffed ticket window closed on 28 February 2022 and the station became unattended the following day; a barrier-free station-front facility opened in 2023.

Trains terminating at Osafune and turning back toward Okayama are scheduled here despite the station being unstaffed since 2022.
