History
Ōebashi Station opened on 19 October 2008 on the Keihan Nakanoshima Line. On 7 June 2016 the on-site automatic commuter-pass issuing machine was retired; from then on, passholders use the adjacent Watanabebashi Station or the nearby Yodoyabashi Station on the Keihan Main Line.

Notes
The platform-level walls use the same stone material as the nearby Bank of Japan Osaka Branch and Osaka City Hall buildings — a deliberate "modern Nakanoshima" design motif. The concourse and entrance walls share the unburnable wood and glass treatment that is the signature look of all Nakanoshima Line stations. The station's environmental design pumps water from the adjacent Dōjima River for heat-exchange air conditioning, returning it to the river afterwards, and uses optical fibre and light ducts to channel sunlight down into the concourse for energy savings.
