History

Oyamada Station opened on 25 October 1913 as the Kōda stop on the Iwate Light Railway, a 65.4 km light railway running to the long-defunct Sennintōge Station. It was upgraded to a full passenger station and renamed Oyamada on 23 November 1915. The Iwate Light Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1936, becoming the Kamaishi Line. The station became part of JR East at the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. It sits 8.3 rail kilometres from the Kamaishi Line's starting point at Hanamaki Station, with a single side platform and no on-site staff.
