History
Ōada Station opened on 31 March 1929 between Fukugami and Shimoichiguchi on the Yoshino Railway, sited deliberately between the village to the south and the orchards and pear-tourism farms on the Ōada plateau to the north. The Yoshino Railway merged with the Osaka Electric Tramway on 1 August 1929, with the Sangū Express Railway in 1941, and with Nankai Railway in June 1944 to form Kintetsu. PiTaPa was introduced on 1 April 2007 and the station was fully destaffed on 1 October 2011. There are no houses in front of the station building.

Notes
There is not a single house in front of the station; it sits deliberately between the southern village and northern hillside orchards.
