Station history

Ōiso Station was opened on July 11, 1887 for both freight and passenger service on the Tōkaidō Main Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). Regularly scheduled freight services were discontinued in 1962, and parcel services by 1972. With the dissolution and privatization of the Japanese National Railways (successor of JGR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company. Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC Card system came into operation from November 18, 2001.^[1]
