Oshimi

History

Oshimi Station opened on 9 December 1930 in present-day Katsuragi, Nara Prefecture, as a stop on the Nanwa Electric Railway. The line passed to Kansai Express Railway through a corporate merger on 1 April 1944 and was reorganised into Kintetsu Railway on 1 June 1944 during wartime consolidation. The station was relocated 95 metres south to its current site on 17 September 1984. PiTaPa was introduced on 1 April 2007, and the station became fully unstaffed on 21 December 2012. It now consists of a single side platform serving one bidirectional track on the Gose Line, 3.9 km from the line's starting point at Shakudo.
