History

Oshima Station was opened on 25 March 1914 as one of several intermediate stations built when Japanese Government Railways (JGR) extended the track of the Tokushima Main Line from Awa-Yamakawa to Awa-Ikeda. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor to JGR, on 1 April 1987, Oshima came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.[7][8]
