history

The state company Hokkaidō Kansetsu Tetsudō built a railway line from Asahikawa and Kushiro to develop the eastern part of the island. On December 15, 1904, it took the section between Toshibetsu and Toyokoro into operation, together with Ikeda station. In 1905 responsibility was transferred to the Railway Authority (later the Ministry of Railways ). This opened the Chihoku line from Ikeda to Rikubetsu on September 22, 1910 and extended it to Abashiri the following year .

In 1961 the Japanese State Railways put a new station building into operation. For cost reasons, it stopped handling goods on February 1, 1984, and checked baggage on March 14, 1985. 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 .

JR Hokkaido planned to shut down the Chihoku line, but transferred it on June 4, 1989 to the Hokkaidō Chihoku Kōgen Tetsudō , a company supported by regional authorities. The Chihoku line was given the new name Furusato Ginga line . However, the new owner did not succeed in operating the line profitably, so it had to be shut down on April 21, 2006. Since then, Ikeda station has only been served by the Nemuro main line.
