History
Ōkurayama Station was opened on February 14, 1926, as Futo Station (太尾駅, Futo-eki). It was renamed to its present name on March 31, 1932.
Even though the section between Shin-yokohama and Shin-tsunashima stations of the Tōkyū Shin-yokohama Line is right underneath this Station, in a 2008 meeting with the local residents, the railway personnel explained that due to geological difficulties it was decided that the Shin-yokohama Line would not have a dedicated station serving Ōkurayama.[1]

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 55,464 passengers daily.[2]
