Location

History

Ōtoba Station opened on 1 June 1974 as a new stop between Karasue and Tomoe on the Kintetsu Yōrō Line, built to serve the nearby Gifu Prefectural Ōgaki Minami High School. Initially trains stopped only during the school-commute hours; on 27 March 1986 all local trains began stopping. On 1 October 2007 the Yōrō Line was separated from Kintetsu's operation and the station passed to the Yōrō Railway.

Notes

Ōtoba is primarily a commuter and school-traffic stop: in 2015 some 300 of Ōgaki Minami High School's roughly 750 students used the station daily for their commute. The station has a single side platform on the right when looking toward Ōgaki, served by both directions of travel; the small station building near the Ōgaki end of the platform is the only entrance. The Meishin Expressway flies overhead north of the station, with Ōgaki IC only about 2 km away.
