History
Kami-Ōi Station opened on 1 June 1948 as a JNR station on the Gotemba Line between Shimo-Soga and Matsuda, in present-day Ōi, Kanagawa, 6.5 km from the line's terminus at Kōzu. It was built in response to a petition from local residents. The route was electrified on 27 April 1968 — passing facilities had been added 10 days earlier to prepare — and parcel handling ceased on 1 February 1971. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central. Night staffing was withdrawn in 1990 and the station became fully unstaffed on 22 March 1997. Station numbering CB02 was introduced in March 2018 along with the rest of the Gotemba Line.
