History

Ōshio Station opened on 20 December 1927. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

Effective the 16 March 2024 timetable revision, this station was transferred to the Hapi-Line Fukui Line due to the opening of the western extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.[1]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 251 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
