Location

History

Oyahana Station opened on 27 October 1914 on the private Chichibu Railway Main Line, where it sits 49.2 km from the line's eastern terminus at Hanyū, and it carries the station number CR26. On 29 January 2020 the secondary name "Mt. Minoyama Climbing Entrance" was added. PASMO IC-card acceptance began on 12 March 2022, at which point the station was simultaneously destaffed; before that day it had been operated under contract from Yorii Station, with shorter staffed hours on weekdays than at weekends. Today it remains a passenger stop with one side platform and one island platform serving three tracks, the third of which is reserved for freight movements.

Notes

Although Oyahana handles only about 400 passengers a day, it is laid out with three tracks: the third is not used for passenger service and is kept for freight trains.
