Yoichi Station (余市駅, Yoichi-eki) is a railway station on the Hakodate Main Line in Yoichi, Hokkaido, Japan, operated by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido). The station is numbered "S18".[2]
Yoichi Station is served by the Hakodate Main Line and is 232.6 km from the start of the line at Hakodate.[3]
When the Hokkaido Shinkansen opens in the spring of 2031, the Hakodate Main Line will be truncated and the section of track between Oshamambe and Otaru will be abolished. In March 2022, after a consultation period, 7 towns along the Hakodate Maine Line between Otaru and Yoichi approved a conversion to a new bus service and a closure of the Hakodate Main Line past Otaru in conjunction with the opening of the Hokkaido Shinkansen in the Spring of 2031.[4]
