History

Orii Station opened on 1 April 1924 between Sufu and Mihomisumi on the Japanese Government Railways' San'in Main Line, in what is now Hamada, Shimane Prefecture. Freight handling was added in 1939, withdrawn on 1 October 1962, and parcels handling ended in February 1984. The station was unstaffed from 14 March 1985 and passed to JR West on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. The wooden station building stands 487.6 kilometres from the Kyoto starting point; it has one island platform serving two tracks plus a maintenance siding, with the platform reached by a footbridge. In July 2019 the outer walls of the building were repainted in a sea-and-sky motif.

Notes

The level crossing just outside the station is widely believed to be the model for the cover art of the Vocaloid song "Shōjo Rei" by Mikito-P.
