History
Oshibedani Station opened on 28 December 1936 when Miki Electric Railway inaugurated the Suzurandai - Hirono Golf Course-mae section. On 9 January 1947 the company merged into Kōbe Arima Electric Railway, becoming Shinyu Miki Electric Railway and eventually today's Kobe Electric Railway. The station building was rebuilt in April 1980. The station has a combined side-and-island platform layout (2 platforms, 3 tracks) on a passing loop, with the Suzurandai side double-track and the Aō side single-track. The Aō Line south of Oshibedani is single-track and stops at every station. Operations are remotely controlled from a centre station via the line's optical-network remote system, with no on-site staff.

Notes
Oshibedani is the boundary between the Aō Line's double-track north section and its single-track south, with all stations south of here served by every train.
