Station history
The original Ogawa Station was opened on March 1886 following the opening of Taketoyo Line. However, after the opening of Ōbu Station in the north of the station, the 1st Ogawa station was closed.

The village of Ogawa (Current Higashiura) petitioned the Ministry of Communications to reopen the station for the promotion of the village.

The 2nd Ogawa Station was opened on March 1, 1900, as a passenger station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). Freight operations commenced from April 1, 1903, and the station building was reconstructed at that time. The JGR became the Japan National Railway (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued from November 15, 1975, and small parcel operations from February 1, 1984. With the privatization and dissolution of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the Central Japan Railway Company. Automatic turnstiles were installed in May 1992, and the TOICA system of magnetic fare cards was implemented in November 2006.

Station numbering was introduced to the Taketoyo Line in March 2018; Ogawa Station was assigned station number CE02.
