History
Kami-Ogawa Station opened on 15 August 1925 as a station of the Japanese Government Railways on what is now the Suigun Line, in the town of Daigo, Kuji District, Ibaraki Prefecture. It is 47.3 kilometres from the line's official starting point at Mito. The station was destaffed on 1 June 1983 with the introduction of centralised traffic control on the Suigun Line, and converted to a simple-agency station with tickets sold inside the station building under contract with the local government. With the privatisation of the JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR East. The station building was reconstructed in November 1990 to incorporate a community centre and town hall branch office.

Notes
Kami-Ogawa's 1990 rebuild incorporated a community centre and a branch office of the town hall directly into the station building.
