History


The station opened on 1 November 1920, originally named Higashi-Ojiya Station (東小千谷駅, lit. "East Ojiya Station") to distinguish it from the existing Ojiya Station on the Uonuma Railway.[1] It was renamed simply Ojiya Station on 1 August 1932 after the Uonuma Railway station was renamed Nishi-Ojiya Station (西小千谷駅, lit. "West Ojiya Station") in July 1932.[1] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.[1]


Passenger statistics


In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 1282 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
