History

Ōmagari Station was opened on December 21, 1904 on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Ōu Main Line, serving the town of Ōmagari, Akita. The predecessor of the Tozawako Line, the Obonai keiben-sen, began operations from July 30, 1921, and was nationalized the following year. The JGR 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 Akita Shinkansen began operations from March 22, 1997 and a new station building was inaugurated on July 20 of the same year.
