History
Ōzeki Station opened on 30 December 1928 on the Mikuni Awara Electric Railway between Fukuiguchi and the present Awara Yunomachi Station. The line passed to the Keifuku Electric Railroad when Keifuku absorbed the Mikuni Awara company on 1 August 1942. Operations were suspended after the head-on collision on the Keifuku Echizen Main Line on 24 June 2001; Keifuku transferred the station's facilities to the newly formed Echizen Railway on 1 February 2003, and the station itself reopened on 10 August 2003 when service resumed on the Mikuni Awara Line. The station is in the city of Sakai, Fukui, has one island platform serving two tracks, and is unstaffed.
Notes
Since 12 March 2017, the station's nameboard has been rendered in sumō moji (the traditional calligraphy used on banzuke rankings), a joint Sakai City–Echizen Railway project tied to the station's name, which shares the kanji for the sumō rank ōzeki.
