History
The station opened on 15 September 1927 with the opening of the Ministry of Railways Senmō Main Line between Kushiro Station and Shibecha Station. Following the privatization of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido.[3] The current station building was reconstructed in 1989.
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 according to a press release from Hokkaido Shinbun. However, Shibecha wasn't informed of this plan. 3 days after the news, a JR Hokkaido employee visited the town hall and informed the town that they had no plans to close the station.[4]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2022, the station was used by an average of 2 passengers daily.[5]
