Nayoro is a through station and former separation station on the Sōya main line . This leads from Asahikawa to Wakkanai and is operated by the company JR Hokkaido . All trains running here stop at this station. Two pairs of express trains of the type Super Sōya (consisting of tilting railcars ) connect the prefecture capital Sapporo with Asahikawa and Wakkanai every day . In addition, the Sarobetsu, which is made up of conventional rolling stock, is used on the same connection once a day . Regional trains run every one to two hours to Asahikawa and four times a day to Otoineppu . There is a small bus station on the station forecourt , which is served by the city, regional and long-distance lines of the companies Meishi Bus , JR Hokkaido Bus and Dohoku Bus .

The station is east of the city center and faces south to north. It has four tracks, three of which are used for passenger traffic. These are located on the main platform and on a central platform that is connected to the reception building on the west side of the facility by a covered overpass . To the east of the station, separated by a wide strip of wasteland, there is a depot with three tracks where trains and service vehicles are parked. JR Freight operates a transshipment point for containers north of the station . However, this is not served by freight trains, but by trucks that run to the Asahikawa freight station five times a day according to a fixed timetable.

history

The state company Hokkaidō Kansetsu Tetsudō had the order to open up the barely populated north of Hokkaidō by building a railway line. On September 3, 1903, they opened the section between Shibetsu and Nayoro. The station was then the northern terminus for eight years. The Railway Office responsible from 1905 (later the Ministry of Railways ) extended the route to Onnenai on November 3, 1911; eleven years later, Wakkanai was reached. On October 20, 1919, Nayoro became a hub when the Ministry of Railways opened the first section of the Nayoro Main Line to Shimokawa. Two years later, the rest of the route to Engaru was completed.

After the station building had been replaced by a new building in 1927, a section of the Shinmei line to Teshio-Yayoi was opened on November 10, 1937 . Four years later, the line was continuously passable as far as Fukagawa . In January 1961 the Japanese State Railways opened a 2 km long connecting line to the Hokuyōseishi paper mill, and on June 1, 1967 a double-track container station.

For cost reasons, the state railway stopped checking in luggage on November 1, 1986. 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 . On May 1, 1989, the Nayoro main line was shut down, and the Shinmei line on September 4, 1995. On September 1, 1996, JR Freight gave up the operation of the container station by trains and switched to truck transport, as well as the siding to the paper mill.
