Ottomo Station (乙供駅, Ottomo-eki) is a railway station on the Aoimori Railway Line located in the town of Tōhoku, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. It is 57.6 rail kilometers from the terminus of the Tōhoku Main Line at Aomori Station.

History

Ottomo Station was opened on January 1, 1894 as a station on the Nippon Railway. On January 1, 1906, with the nationalization of the Nippon Railway, it became a station of the Tōhoku Main Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), the pre-war predecessor to the Japan National Railways (JNR). Regularly scheduled freight services were discontinued from March 15, 1972. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

The section of the Tōhoku Main Line including this station was transferred to Aoimori Railway on December 4, 2010.
