History
Ōe Station opened on 16 July 1988 with the inauguration of the Miyafuku Line by Miyafuku Railway, in the city of Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture. The line passed through Kitakinki Tango Railway before transferring to Willer Trains on 1 April 2015 as part of the rebranded Kyoto Tango Railway. The station is the only intermediate stop on the Miyafuku Line at which every service — including limited express and rapid trains — calls, and it is also the only staffed intermediate station on the line. It has a single island platform serving two tracks for trains to pass, connected to the station building by an underground passage.

Notes
Welfare-board nickname for the station is "Shuten-dōji Station," after the demon king of the Ōeyama legend whose tales are set in the surrounding hills.
