history
The railway company Hokkaidō Tetsudō (nationalized in 1907) opened the southernmost section of the Hakodate main line in 1902 , the trains initially ran through here. On September 1, 1911, the Railway Authority took (later Railway Authority ) the station Goryokaku into operation, to replace the nearby station Kameda, who was shut down due to changes in inner-city route. The opening of the first section of the Esashi line took place on September 15, 1913. In June 1922 the depot was moved to its current location next to the station. The section between Hakodate and Goryōkaku has been double-tracked since December 27, 1942, the following section to Kikyō since September 30, 1944.
Baggage check-in was discontinued on November 1, 1986 for cost reasons, with the privatization of the Japanese State Railways on April 1, 1987, the station became the property of the new company JR Hokkaido . The importance of the station increased markedly on March 13, 1988 with the electrification of the Esashi line and the opening of the new Seikan tunnel . Hatsukari express trains to Morioka and Kaikyō express trains to Aomori stopped in Goryōkaku . On March 26, 2016, JR Hokkaido transferred the Esashi line to the newly founded regional railway company Dōnan Isaribi Tetsudō . Because of the simultaneous opening of the partly parallel high-speed line Hokkaidō-Shinkansen , this resulted in the suspension of express and express train services.
From November 27, 1955 a line operated the Hakodate tram to Goryōkaku station. This was shut down again 23 years later, on November 1st, 1978.
