History
Ōsawa Station began as a signal stop on 15 May 1899 and was elevated to a full passenger station on 25 December 1906. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987.
Future plans
The station will be bypassed by all trains between 10 January 2023 and 26 March 2023 owing to extremely low ridership. By 2005, daily ridership had fallen to an average of two users per day.
