Shiroishi is a separation station on the Hakodate Main Line from Sapporo to Asahikawa , Hokkaidō's main railway line. Here the Chitose Line branches off to Numanohata . Both lines are operated by the JR Hokkaido company.
All regional trains that run from Sapporo on the Hakodate main line to Iwamizawa or on the Chitose line in the direction of Minami-Chitose and Tomakomai stop in Shiroishi . This results in a dense, S-Bahn-like timetable. There are also regular express trains called Ishikari Liner from Otaru via Teine and Sapporo to Iwamizawa.
There are bus terminals on both sides of the station , which are served by various city bus routes operated by the Hokkaidō Chūō Bus and JR Hokkaidō Bus companies.

The station, which is oriented in a north-west-south-east direction, has six tracks, including one storage and one through track. Four tracks are used for passenger traffic and are located on two central platforms . The station building has the shape of a riding station that spans the entire track system. Immediately to the east of the train station there is a small three-track depot for parking train service vehicles . To the south-east, both lines run side by side for three kilometers (the route has four tracks here), but the following Heiwa station can only be reached by trains on the Chitose line.

history
The Horonai Tetsudō railway company opened the line between Sapporo and Iwamizawa on November 13, 1882 . In the Shiroishi area it set up a demand stop , which it lifted the following year and reopened in 1888. In 1889 the line came into the possession of the private mining and railway company Hokkaidō Tankō Tetsudō . The new owner lifted the demand hold again in September 1890. Finally, on April 21, 1903, it opened the definitive station. After the nationalization of the Hokkaidō Tankō Tetsudō on October 1, 1906, the Railway Office (later the Ministry of Railways ) was responsible.
On October 17, 1918, the opening of the Jōzankei railway line followed , which branched off near Shiroishi and led into the Toyohiro Valley southwest of Sapporo. The subsequent Higashisapporo station was the starting point of the Chitose line from 1926 . Freight handling in Shiroishi ended on July 1, 1968, when the Japanese State Railways opened a new freight station on the Hakodate main line three kilometers east . Almost two months later, on August 28, 1968, the section of the Hakodate main line leading through Shiroishi was electrified. On November 1, 1969, the Jōzankei railway line was shut down.
A completely new operational situation arose on September 9, 1973 with the commissioning of a more direct, double-track route of the Chitose Line from Naebo via Shiroishi to Kita-Hiroshima; a day later the old, single-track line via Higashisapporo was discontinued. For cost reasons, the state railway gave up baggage check on March 14, 1985. In the course of privatization, the station passed on April 1, 1987 into the possession of the new company JR Hokkaido . Immediately next to the reception building from 1968, which was later demolished, the current bridge-like structure was built in April 2009. This was inaugurated on January 30, 2011.
