• Hachikō Line: Myōkaku ⇄ Moro

Ogose Station opened on 1933-04-15 as a general station handling both passengers and freight, with the inauguration of the state-built Hachikō Line between Higashi-Hannō and Ogose. The Ogose Railway extended its line from Morito on 1934-12-16, making Ogose a junction. Following the railway's merger into Tōbu Railway on 1943-07-01, the Ogose Railway line became the Tōbu Ogose Line. Freight handling ended in 1974, parcel handling in 1984, and the JR side of the station passed to JR East at the April 1987 privatisation. A lift entered service on 2014-03-28. On 2019-03-16 a new east entrance and an east–west free passage opened, separating the JR and Tōbu ticket gates; JR's dedicated ticket office (Midori-no-madoguchi) had closed the previous day, on 2019-03-15. JR's automatic ticket machines stopped operating on 2026-02-12.

Ogose Station has two exit names hand-picked by the town: the west side is "Dōkan Exit" — for the local samurai-poet Ōta Dōkan — and the east is "Yamabuki Exit", a nod to Ogose's celebrated yellow yamabuki (kerria) flowers.
