History
The station opened on 1 December 1917 with the extension of the Ministry of Railways Kushiro Main Line (later Nemuro Main Line) between Kushiro Station and Hama-Akkeshi Station. Following the privatization of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido. A new side platform was added on 22 March 1989.[4]
In June 2023, this station was selected to be among 42 stations on the JR Hokkaido network to be slated for abolition owing to low ridership.[5]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2022, the station was used by an average of 3 passengers daily.
