History
Ohda Station (麻生田) opened on 6 August 1916 as a stop on the Hokusei Railway in present-day Inabe, Mie Prefecture. The line was reorganised as the Hokusei Electric Railway on 27 June 1934 and, through subsequent mergers, became part of the Kintetsu group on 1 April 1965, when it began running as the Kintetsu Hokusei Line. The platform was substantially lengthened, from 35.9 metres to its present 61.0 metres, on 15 April 1977. The line was spun off from Kintetsu as the independent Sangi Railway Hokusei Line on 1 April 2003, and a new station building was completed in March 2004. The station is unattended.

When the Hokusei Line was spun off from Kintetsu in 2003 it was transferred to the independent Sangi Railway as the Sangi Railway Hokusei Line, continuing narrow-gauge operation.
