History
[edit | edit source]The station opened on 10 November 1923 with the extension of the Ministry of Railways Teshio Line between Homare Station (now Teshio-Nakagawa Station) and this station the line was extended to Horonobe Station in 1925. The Teshio Line was incorporated into the Soya Main Line in 1930. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Hokkaido took over control of the station. [5]
In June 2023, this station was selected to be among 42 stations on the JR Hokkaido network to be slated for abolition owing to low ridership.[6] This action was opposed by Horonobe Town, which announced that the town will take over maintenance and management of the station, with funding from hometown tax donations and other sources from fiscal year 2021.[7] [8]
Passenger statistics
[edit | edit source]In fiscal 2023, the station was used on average by two passengers daily.
