History
Ōshima Station is an unstaffed single-platform stop on the Nagaragawa Railway Etsumi-Nan Line at Ōshima, Shirotori-chō, Gujō City, Gifu Prefecture, with station number 33. It opened on 1 March 1955 as a Japanese National Railways station handling diesel-railcar passengers only, and transferred to the third-sector Nagaragawa Railway on 11 December 1986 when the Etsumi-Nan Line was converted. The station has a small toilet-sized hut serving as a waiting room and a covered shelter on the platform; there is no ticket machine and no parking, though a bicycle rack stands behind the platform toward the Mino-Ōta side.

Notes
Although the station is the gateway to the eastern part of Shirotori-chō (the former Ushimichi Village) in Gujō City, there is no public-transport link from the station to that area today — bus routes that existed up to the 1980s have since disappeared, and only a limited weekday on-demand municipal bus from neighbouring Mino-Shirotori serves the area.
