Ōami Station (大網駅, Ōami-eki^?) is a railway station operated by JR East's Sotobō Line and Tōgane Line, located in Ōamishirasato, Chiba Prefecture Japan. It is 22.9 kilometers from the terminus of the Sotobō Line at Chiba Station and forms the eastern terminus of the Tōgane Line.

History

Ōami Station was opened on January 20, 1896 as the terminal station of the Bōsō Railway. The line was extended to Ichinomiya in 1897. The Tōgane Line began operations from June 30, 1900. On September 1, 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which was transformed into the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued on July 1, 1971. On May 27, 1972, the station building was relocated to its present location, to eliminated the use of a switchback. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987.
