History
Ōami Station was opened on 20 January 1896, as the terminal station of the Bōsō Railway. The line was extended to Ichinomiya in 1897. The Tōgane Line began operations from 30 June 1900. On 1 September 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which was transformed into the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued on 1 July 1971. On 27 May 1972, the station building was relocated to its present location, to eliminate the use of a switchback. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987.
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 10,057 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
