Lines

Ōgita Station is served by the Hanawa Line, and is located 98.6 km from the terminus of the line at Kōma.

Station layout

The station was built with an island platform, but only one side of the platform is in use, thus making the station a single side platform serving bi-directional traffic. The station is unattended.

History

Ōgita Station was opened on July 1, 1914 on the privately owned Akita Railways, serving the town of Ōgita, Akita. The line was nationalized on June 1, 1934, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) system, which became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. The station has been unattended since April 2003.
