• Shido Line: Rokumanji ⇄ Yakuri-Shinmichi

Ōmachi opened on 18 November 1911 as a station on the Tōsan Electric Tramway. It passed to Shikoku Suiryoku Denki on 25 December 1916 by amalgamation, to Sanuki Dentetsu by transfer on 30 April 1942, and on 1 November 1943 to the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad (Kotoden) as a station on the Shido Line. The Yakuri–Kotoden-Shido section of the line, which includes this station, was suspended on 26 January 1945 under wartime non-essential-line rules, and operations resumed when the section reopened on 9 October 1949. The station was destaffed on 20 August 1996.

Ōmachi is designated a turn-back station: the down-direction (Shido-bound) platform is built so trains can leave back towards Kawaramachi from it, supporting services that terminate here without crossing over to the other platform.
