Location

History

The station began on 1 July 1958 as Kamayausu Station, a simple unstaffed halt on the JNR Sasshō Line, after more than two decades of local petitioning by the Kamayausu district that began in 1932. From 1980 the area was redeveloped as the planned community Sapporo New Town Ainosato; the station was relocated about 630 m toward Shintotsukawa on 1 November 1986 to suit the new layout, and a passing loop and second platform were brought into use in 1991. JR Hokkaido took over the stop at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The station was renamed Ainosato-kōen on 16 March 1995, and the line through it was electrified on 1 June 2012.

Notes

Ainosato-kōen carries more passengers than any other unstaffed station on the JR Hokkaido network.
