History
Ōdose Station opened on November 5, 1933 as a Japanese National Railways stop on the Gonō Line, 83.9 kilometres from the line terminus at Higashi-Noshiro and serving the coast of present-day Fukaura. It was built with opposed side platforms, but only the former southbound platform remains in service today. The station first lost its on-site staff on March 19, 1984. With the privatisation of JNR on April 1, 1987, operational control passed to JR East, and the station has been fully unattended since May 1, 2002, managed remotely from Goshogawara Station with no station building.
