History
editThe station opened on 25 August 1931.[2]
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Ōyama Station becoming "TJ-04".[4]
Future plans
editOn 28 July 2022, a grade separation project will result in the facilities being transitioned to a new elevated station structure.[5] The project, which aims to elevate 1.6 km (0.99 mi) of the Tobu Tojo Line, is expected to cost ¥42.8 billion (2021) (US$389.98 million) and is expected to be completed by 2030.[5] This will also result in the elimination of eight level crossings.
Passenger statistics
editIn fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 46,727 passengers daily.[6]
