Ōsawa Station began as a signal stop on 15 May 1899 and was elevated to a full passenger station on 25 December 1906.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987.
The station will be bypassed by all trains between 10 January 2023 and 26 March 2023 owing to extremely low ridership.[2] By 2005, daily ridership had fallen to an average of two users per day.[3]
