Station layoutedit
The station consists of one side platform and one island platform connected by an elevated station building. The station is staffed. Between Platforms 1 and 3, there is a middle track (Platform 2) without a platform, where inbound freight trains arrive and depart. There is another freight line on the outside of Platform 4 on the east side of this station.
Ōtake Station was opened on 25 September 1897 as a passenger and freight station on the San'yo Railway with the opening of the line from Hiroshima to Tokuyama. The line was nationalized in 1906 and became the San'yo Main Line in 1909. Freight operations were abandoned in 1962. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West). A new station building on the east side was completed in 2023.[2] The west side of the station building is also undergoing a rebuild and will be opened sometime in 2024.[2]
