The Shin-Totsukawa Station ( Japanese 新 十津川 駅 , Shin-Totsukawa-eki ) is a former station on the Japanese island of Hokkaidō . It is located in the sub-prefecture Sorachi in the field of city Shintotsukawa .
description
Shin-Totsukawa was the northern terminus of the Sasshō Line in the direction of Sapporo from 1972 to 2020 . Over the years, the train offer had been continuously reduced due to falling demand. At the moment only one pair of trains ran daily to Ishikari-Tōbetsu; There were no connections to Sapporo without changing trains. The only track ended around 150 meters north of the station, the crossing track had already been removed.
Takikawa Station is about two kilometers northeast on the Hakodate Main Line , but there is no rail link to it.
history
When it was opened on October 10, 1931 by the Ministry of Railways , the station was named Nakatoppu ( 中 徳 富 ). It was the southern terminus of the first section of the Sasshō Line, which ran from Ishikari-Numata to this point. The opening of the second section to Urausu took place exactly three years later, on October 10, 1934. With the commissioning of the last missing section on October 3, 1935, the Sasshō line was completed and continuously navigable from Ishikari-Numata to Sapporo.
In support of the rationing measures during the Pacific War , the Ministry of Railways declared the section between Ishikari-Tsukigata and Ishikari-Oiwake to be a "non-urgent route" and temporarily shut it down on January 10, 1943, which also affected Nakatoppu station. After more than ten years, the Japanese State Railways reversed this measure on November 3, 1953, and the station was also given its current name Shin-Totsukawa. On June 19, 1972, the state railway finally shut down the section between Shin-Totsukawa and Ishikari-Numata and later dismantled the route . Then the station was again the terminus, this time from the south instead of the north.
For cost reasons, the state railway stopped handling goods on February 1, 1979, and checked baggage on February 1, 1984. The station, unmanned since 1986, passed into the possession of JR Hokkaido on April 1, 1987 as part of the privatization of the state railway . This shut down the high-deficit rural part of the route to Hokkaidō-Iryōdaigaku on April 17, 2020.
