Ōshio Station opened on 19 August 1923 with the Kobe-Himeji Electric Railway, passing to Ujigawa Electric in 1927 and to Sanyo Electric Railway in 1933. Overtaking facilities were added in January 1930, it became an express stop in March 1948, and a limited-express stop in April 1968. The station building was rebuilt in October 1987. From 1991, six-car limited-expresses had to door-cut here because level crossings immediately off each end of the platforms, together with an in-station foot crossing, left no room to extend them; a rebuild that placed the station building above the tracks, completed on 11 December 2021, removed the in-station crossing and let the up platform be lengthened, and the door-cut was eliminated on 1 March 2022. A "Himeji University-mae" sub-name was added in March 2020.

For 31 years until March 2022, six-car limited-express trains had to leave the rear car's doors closed at Ōshio because platforms were boxed in by level crossings that left no room to extend.
