History
Ōsato Station (NH45) is on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line in Okuda-chō Sanjūbanjin, Inazawa, Aichi, 77.5 km from the line's terminus at Toyohashi. It opened on 3 February 1928 as Ōzato Station (大佐土駅) on the Aichi Electric Railway, became a Meitetsu station after the 1935 merger of Aichi Electric and Nagoya Railway, and adopted its current kanji on 2 November 1943. It was promoted to a sub-express stop on 25 December 1970, was unstaffed on 22 February 2004, became an express stop on 29 January 2005 and was demoted back to a sub-express stop on 17 December 2008. Manaca IC service began on 11 February 2011, and the platform building now sits on the ground floor of a residential apartment complex.

Notes
Ōsato is sandwiched between two larger rail lines — the Tōkaidō Shinkansen runs just south of the platforms and Kiyosu Station on the JR Central Tōkaidō Main Line is about 1.5 km east — yet neither offers an interchange with this Meitetsu local stop.
