Ōura Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 173.8 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and they only serve the sector between Iyo-Saijō and Matsuyama. Connections with other local or limited express trains are needed to travel further east or west along the line.[4]
The station consists of a straight track and a passing loop. Only the passing loop is served by the single side platform which the straight track is used by trains which do not stop at the station. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. A ramp leads from the access road to the platform.[2][5][6][3]
Ōura Signal Box (大浦信号場, Ōura-shingō-ba) was opened by JR Shikoku on 21 November 1990 on the Yosan Line. It was upgraded to a passenger station on 16 March 1991.[7][8]
