HistoryŌshirakawa Station opened on 1 November 1942, as the terminus of the western section of the Tadami Line from Koide. In 1971, the line was extended from Oshirakawa to Tadami, thus joining the previously disconnected western and eastern sections of the Tadami Line.[1] Along with the rest of the Tadami Line, the station came under the ownership of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) in 1949, and was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. Between 1951 and 2015, the next station to the west from Ōshirakawa was Kakinoki. Since the closure of that station, trains now run non-stop to Irihirose.[2] Surrounding area
