History
Oji-Kamiya Station opened on 29 November 1991 on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line in Kita, Tokyo, carrying station number N-17. During planning the working name was Kamiyabashi; the eventual name combines the neighbouring Oji and Kamiya districts, with Oji prepended to avoid confusion with Kamiyacho Station on the Hibiya Line. The station passed from the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004 at privatisation, gained PASMO acceptance on 18 March 2007, and switched to an Oji-Kamiya-specific platform departure melody on 13 March 2015. The adjoining Oji Inspection Depot is used both to stable Namboku Line trains and as a turnback for terminating services.

Notes
On the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line only Oji-Kamiya and Shirokane-dai have opposed side platforms rather than a single island platform.
