History
editIwade Station opened on October 10, 1901 on the Kiwa Railway as the Ōmiya Provisional Station (大宮仮停車場, Ōmiya kariteishajō). It was promoted to a full station and renamed Ōmiya Station (大宮駅, Ōmiya eki) on March 1, 1902, and renamed to its present name a month later. The line was sold to the Kansai Railway in 1904, which was subsequently nationalized in 1907. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company.
