Ōshida Station was served by the Yamada Line from Morioka to Kamaishi, and was located 19.2 kilometers from the line's starting point at Morioka Station.[1]
Ōshida Station had a single side platform serving traffic in both directions. The station was unstaffed.
By late 2012, the station was normally served by a total of just three services daily, but from January until 15 March 2013, no trains stopped at this station during the winter period.[2]
Ōshida Station opened on 25 September 1928.[1] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.
Closure
In August 2015, JR East notified the city of Morioka that it was considering closing Ōshida and Asagishi stations on the Yamada Line, possibly by March 2016, due to low patronage.[3] In December 2015, JR East announced that it would be formally closing the station from the start of the following timetable revision.[4]
The station closed following the last day of services on 25 March 2016.[5]
As of August 2015[update], the station was used by an average of just 0.4 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
The station was situated in a remote area location with just two households living within a radius of 1 km (as of August 2015[update]).[3]
