History

Ōshō Station opened on 25 April 1921 as a halt of the Toyama Prefectural Railway, and became part of Toyama Chihō Railway in 1943 through the wartime consolidation of regional operators. Freight handling ended on 1 August 1969, and the station was destaffed on 1 August 1997. On 6 November 2005 the original 1921 wooden station building burned down after a fire spread from the waiting room in strong winds; a barrier-free replacement was completed on 20 February 2006. The station now serves as an unstaffed single-platform stop on the Kamidaki Line, designated T68.

Notes

Cherry trees were planted in the station forecourt when the station building was put up in the late Taishō era; four stood there before the 2005 fire, two of them adjacent to the building were scorched, and two of the four survive today.
