Nukanan Station

The station is served by the Sōya Main Line and is located 178.0 km from the starting point of the line at Asahikawa.^[1][3] Only local trains stop at this station.

This is an above-ground station with one side platform and one track. It has been unattended since the station opened (managed by Horonobe Town). The platform is a wooden platform less than one car long on the south side of the track (on the left hand side facing towards Wakkanai), and is connected to the outside of the station by a slope on the Wakkanai side. There is no station building, but there is a waiting room at the same height as the platform, across a wooden walkway from the platform, which was converted from a prefabricated storehouse. There are chairs inside the shed, and in addition to displaying timetables and announcements, it also stores snow removal equipment. There used to be a wooden waiting room on the ground next to the platform, but it was demolished due to deterioration.

The station opened on 2 December 1955. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Hokkaido took over control of the station. ^[4]

In September 2016, JR Hokkaido announced that it intended to close the station along with two other unstaffed stations on the line (Shimonuma and Minami-Horonobe) in March 2017, due to low passenger usage.^[5] This action was opposed by Horonobe Town, which announced that the town will take over maintenance and management of the station, with funding from hometown tax donations and other sources from fiscal year 2021.^{[6] [7]}

In fiscal 2015, the station was used on average by less than one passenger daily.^[5]
