History
Kita-Ōno Station opened on 25 March 1968 on the Japanese National Railways Etsumi-Hoku Line, between the existing Ushigahara and Echizen-Ōno stations. The station was built as a "requested station", funded entirely by local interests, and was unattended from its opening. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it came under JR West control. After torrential rain on 18 July 2004 suspended the entire line, services on the Mihama–Echizen-Ōno section resumed on 11 September 2004; replacement buses had called at a stop in front of the Mizuochi-cho municipal car park. The station retains a single side platform with only a shelter and serves the north-west part of Ōno city in Fukui Prefecture.
