history

Aerial view (1976)

The Ministry of Railways opened on August 20, 1925 a section of the temporarily called Chōrin Line ( 長 輪 線 , Chōrin-sen ) between Higashi-Muroran and Oshamambe. The station was the western terminus for a little more than three years, until the opening of the subsequent section to Shizukari on September 10, 1928. This meant that the entire route between Higashi-Muroran and Oshamambe was continuously passable. Since 1931, the Chōrin Line has been considered part of the Muroran Main Line.

On December 15, 1940, the private rail company Iburi Jūkan Tetsudō opened a 35 km long branch line from Datemombetsu to Shin-Ōtaki. With the opening of the section between Shin-Ōtaki and Kimobetsu in the following year, the Iburi line leading to Kutchan was completed. In 1944 the company was nationalized. For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railways gave up baggage check on March 14, 1985. On November 1, 1986, it stopped handling goods and shut down the entire Iburi line. In the course of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed on April 1, 1987 into the possession of the new company JR Hokkaido .
