history

The railway company Hokkaidō Tetsudō opened the station on November 3, 1903, together with the section from Mori via Oshamambe to Neppu. After the nationalization on July 1, 1907, the Railway Office (later the Railway Ministry ) was responsible. A local private railway company, the Suttsu Tetsudō , took a branch line to Suttsu in operation on October 24, 1920. After severe flooding, rail traffic on this route had to be stopped on August 14, 1968 and replaced by a bus service; the final closure of the Suttsu line and the liquidation of the company followed on May 11, 1972.

For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods on March 1, 1982, 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 . The station has not been staffed since 2007.
