History
editJR Ōgaki Station opened on 25 May 1884.
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Ōgaki Station was assigned station number CA77.[1][2]
Passenger statistics

Ōgaki Dash
editBefore it was retired in 2021, the overnight rapid train Moonlight Nagara terminated at Ōgaki Station. A rather popular service among Seishun 18 Ticket holders travelling long distances, after alighting, these ticket holders would transfer to other trains at the station. The interchange window between the Moonlight Nagara (5:50 arrival) and the next Maibara-bound local train (5:53 departure) was merely 3 minutes; to make this connection, passengers ran up the stairs, across the overpass, and down another set of stairs to the opposing to platform in order to secure a seat on the next train after their long journey on the Moonlight Nagara. This became dubbed as the "Ōgaki Dash" (大垣ダッシュ). Some passengers were known to choose particular seats aboard the Moonlight Nagara in order to position themselves as close as possible to the stairs upon arriving at the station. JR Central, in response to passengers performing the Ōgaki Dash, later put up signs warning passengers not to run.
