History
Onomachi Station opened on 10 August 1913 as part of the Banshu Railway between Kunikane (now Yakujin) and Nishiwaki, in what is now the city of Ono, Hyōgo Prefecture. The line passed to the Bantan Railway in 1923, was nationalised in 1943, and the station came under JR West when JNR was privatised on 1 April 1987. The station building was rebuilt in December 2004 when the Kakogawa Line was electrified. It is a single side-platform halt on a single bi-directional track, unattended, with ICOCA support added in March 2016. A noodle shop and local-product outlet share the small building.

Notes
Although the station is named for Ono city, the city centre lies about 2 kilometres away across the Kakogawa river — the locally placed Hokei Onsen Kisumi no Sato hot-spring rest stop sits next to the platform instead.
