History
The station opened on 25 August 1931.
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Ōyama Station becoming "TJ-04".
Future plans
On 28 July 2022, a grade separation project will result in the facilities being transitioned to a new elevated station structure. The project, which aims to elevate 1.6 km (0.99 mi) of the Tobu Tojo Line, is expected to cost ¥42.8 billion (2021) (US$389.98 million) and is expected to be completed by 2030. This will also result in the elimination of eight level crossings.
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 46,727 passengers daily.
