Lines
Ogose Station is served by the single-track Hachikō Line between Template:STN and Template:STN, and also forms the terminus of the 10.9 km Tōbu Ogose Line single-track branch from Template:STN. The station lies 8.5 km from the starting point of the Hachikō Line at Komagawa.[3]
Station layout
The station consists of two island platforms for Tōbu and JR East respectively. The JR East platform serves only one track since the removal of the track on platform 1 in April 2013 to allow construction of a passenger lift. An additional storage track is located on the east side of the Tōbu platform. The station is unattended.
The toilets located on the north end of the Tōbu platform were removed in 2013 when the platform was lengthened as part of the work to add lift access to the platforms.

History
The JR East station (formerly JNR) opened on 15 April 1933.[3] The Tōbu station opened on 16 December 1934.[4]
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tōbu Ogose Line, with Ogose Station becoming "TJ-47".[5]
In 2013, construction work started to add lift access between the platforms and the station entrance. This entailed lifting the track serving platform 1, removal of the toilet block at the north end of the Tobu platform, and lengthening the Tobu platform by one car length to the north.[6]
