History
Oshino Station opened on 22 June 1915 in what is now Oshino, Nonoichi, Ishikawa Prefecture, as a station of the Ishikawa Railway. Following the absorption of the original Ishikawa Railway into the Kanazawa Electric Tramway on 1 May 1923 and the formation of Hokuriku Railroad through corporate merger on 13 October 1943, the stop became part of the present-day Hokuriku Railroad Ishikawa Line. Numbered I04, the unstaffed station consists of a single side platform serving one bidirectional track on the 13.8 km Nomachi–Tsurugi route, 3.4 km from the starting terminus at Nomachi.

Notes
The starting capital for what became Oshino Station can be traced to three different railway companies within twenty-eight years: the original Ishikawa Railway, the Kanazawa Electric Tramway that acquired it in 1923, and the present Hokuriku Railroad formed by merger in 1943.
