history
The private railway company Hokkaidō Tetsudō opened the station on December 10, 1902, which was initially called Hongō ( 本 郷 ). For half a year it was the terminus of the first section of the Hakodate main line leading here from Hakodate . The line was extended to Mori on June 28, 1903 . After the nationalization on July 1, 1907, the Railway Office (later the Railway Ministry ) was responsible. On April 1, 1942, the station was renamed Oshima-Ōno ( 渡 島 大野 ).
The three-track station had a station building in the log cabin style and two side platforms that were connected by a covered overpass. The handling of goods was stopped on May 28, 1981, the baggage check-in on February 1, 1984. With the privatization of the Japanese State Railways , the station became the property of the new company JR Hokkaido on April 1, 1987 , which carried out a renovation the following year. From 1992 the station was no longer staffed.
In 1998, planning began for the Hokkaidō-Shinkansen high-speed line . Since it should continue to Sapporo , the location of a new train station had to be chosen so that there is no unnecessarily long detour, but the large city of Hakodate, which is off the route, can still be reached quickly. Oshima-Ōno was chosen because of its location on the Hakodate main line. On May 22, 2005 the ceremonial groundbreaking of the Hokkaidō Shinkansen took place here . To make room for the new station, the old station building was torn down in February 2012. A barrack served as a makeshift replacement for three years. On March 29, 2015, the new station with the changed name Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto went into operation, initially only for trains on the Hakodate main line. It has been the terminus of all Shinkansen trains since March 26, 2016. Over 2500 people attended the opening ceremony, including Minister of Transport Keiichi Ishii and Governor Harumi Takahashi .
future
Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto is expected to be the northern terminus of the Hokkaidō Shinkansen by March 2031. Then the subsequent second construction phase to Sapporo will be put into operation.
