Orikasa Station opened on 10 November 1936. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. The station was washed away by the March 11, 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[1] As of 2018, the station was rebuilt along with the rest of the closed segment of the Yamada Line. Its location is somewhat north of the original site flooded by the tsunami. It was transferred to the Sanriku Railway upon completion on 23 March 2019. This segment joined up with the Kita-Rias Line on one side and the Minami-Rias Line on the other, which together constitutes the entire Rias Line.[2] Accordingly, this station became an intermediate station of Rias Line.
