History
The station opened on 15 September 1927.[1] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido.[1]
In September 2016, JR Hokkaido announced that it intended to close the station from the start of the revised timetable in March 2017, due to low passenger usage.[2]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2015, the station was used on average by less than one passenger daily. There were 3 users in 2015, but the number was estimated to drop to 1 by the next year.[2]
