History
The station opened on 1 November 1920, originally named Higashi-Ojiya Station (東小千谷駅, lit. "East Ojiya Station") to distinguish it from the existing Ojiya Station on the Uonuma Railway. [1] It was renamed simply Ojiya Station on 1 August 1932 after the Uonuma Railway station was renamed Nishi-Ojiya Station (西小千谷駅, lit. "West Ojiya Station") in July 1932. [1] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East. [1]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 1282 passengers daily (boarding passengers only). [2]
