description

About 300 m north of the station, the line divides into two branches: the main line of the Hakodate main line and the Sawara branch line running east around the Hokkaidō-Komagatake volcano , both of which reunite in Mori . The Fujishiro branch line between Nanae and Ōnuma is usually only used in a northerly direction; On this, freight trains can bypass a 2% incline of the older route.

history

The railway company Hokkaidō Tetsudō opened the station on June 28, 1903, together with the section between Hongō (today Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto ) and Mori . After the nationalization of Hokkaidō Tetsudō on July 1, 1907, the Railway Authority (later the Ministry of Railways ) was responsible. This replaced the station building with a new building in 1918. The station was renamed Ikusagawa ( 軍 川 ) on June 15, 1920 . On January 25, 1945 the Sawara branch line between Ōnuma and Mori was opened, the Fujishiro branch line between Nanae and Ōnuma went into operation on October 1, 1966.

The Japanese State Railways abandoned cargo handling on October 26, 1971, renovated the station building in 1982 and stopped checking baggage on February 1, 1984. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new company JR Hokkaido on April 1, 1987 . No express trains have stopped here since 2000.
