History
Soshigaya-Ōkura Station opened on 1 April 1927 on the Odakyu Odawara Line in Setagaya, Tokyo. It was added as a Sakura-junkyū stop in September 1948, and a major quadruple-track elevation project began on the surrounding line in December 1994. Down tracks were lifted onto the new viaduct on 28 March 1999, up tracks on a temporary platform followed on 23 April 2000 alongside the present concourse building, and the permanent up platform opened on 16 December 2001. The full express-track quadrupling was finished on 26 September 2004, station numbering OH13 was introduced in January 2014, and platform-edge doors entered service on 17 December 2025.

Notes
Tsuburaya Productions, the studio behind Ultraman, once had its headquarters about 800 metres south of the station, and from 19 March 2006 the up and down platforms have used the Ultraman and Ultraseven theme tunes as approach melodies.
