history
When the Ministry of Railways opened the section from Kitahama to this point on September 10, 1925, the station was initially called Shari ( 斜 里 ). It was the final destination for a little over four years, until the opening of the subsequent section to Sattsuru on September 14, 1929; two years later the Senmō main line was completed. Under the supervision of the Ministry of the Interior , the Shari Line, a 17.9 km long small railway along the coast with a gauge of 762 mm , was built to further develop the region . It operated from 1932 to 1953, was drawn by horses and was mainly used to transport agricultural products to Shari station.
From Shari, the Konpoku Line was to be built to Nemuro-Shibetsu , where it would meet the Shibetsu Line . Work began in 1938, but had to be stopped three years later due to the lack of resources during the Pacific War . After work had rested for over a decade, the Japanese State Railways opened the 12.8 km long section to Koshikawa on November 10, 1957. Due to a lack of profitability, the Konpoku line, which was never completed, was shut down on December 1, 1970.
In 1971 the state railway replaced the station building with a new building, and on October 18, 1973, it put a container terminal into operation. For cost reasons, it stopped both cargo handling and baggage check 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 . On April 11, 1998, this gave the station its current name Shiretoko-Shari to indicate the nearby national park. Another renovation of the reception building took place in 2007.
