Location

History

Shin-Ōhirashita Station opened on 1 November 1931 on the Tōbu Nikkō Line. The originally planned site near Hoshinomiya Shrine was abandoned when the landowners' consent could not be obtained, and the present location was secured instead, with residents privately funding the access road. Patronage was light until Hitachi's Tochigi Works opened in front of the station, which brought rapid-service stops and turned Ōhira-machi into a commuter town. Station numbering arrived on 17 March 2012, designating the station TN-10. The 21 April 2017 timetable removed all through services from Tōbu-Dōbutsu-Kōen, Kita-Senju and Asakusa, leaving Minami-Kurihashi as the required transfer point for those destinations.
