History
Ōtabe Station opened on 1 May 1952 between Tatsuokajō and Nakagomi on the Japanese National Railways Koumi Line, in what is now the city of Saku, Nagano Prefecture. With the 1987 dissolution and privatisation of JNR, the station came under the control of JR East. The stop sits 64.1 kilometres from the line's terminus at Kobuchizawa and consists of a single ground-level side platform whose effective length is limited to two carriages. The station has always operated unstaffed and offers a small waiting room next to the platform.
