history
The mining and railway company Hokkaidō Tankō Tetsudō opened the station on August 1, 1892, along with the section between Iwamizawa and Higashi-Muroran . Due to flood damage, the station building had to be rebuilt five years later. After the nationalization of the Hokkaidō Tankō Tetsudō on October 1, 1906, the Railway Office (later the Ministry of Railways ) was responsible.
A local company, the Noboribetsu Onsen Kidō , opened a small train to Noboribetsu Onsen on December 1, 1915 . It was 8.6 km long, had a gauge of 762 mm and was initially drawn by horses. In 1918 the railway was switched to steam operation and in 1925 to electrical operation. It was shut down on October 15, 1933 and replaced by a bus route.
For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods on May 15, 1980, and checked baggage on February 1, 1984. 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 .
