Location

History

Atsunai Station opened on 25 December 1903 as a general station when the Hokkaido Government Railway completed the Urahoro–Onbetsu section. The line was absorbed into the national railway on 1 April 1905. Freight handling ended on 2 October 1971, when the station's day-to-day duties were contracted out, and parcels followed on 1 February 1984. The last staff withdrew on 1 December 1984 and the station was simply commissioned for a time before being fully unstaffed by 1993. JR Hokkaido inherited it at the 1987 privatisation. The unstaffed station, managed from Urahoro, retains a single side platform and an island platform — three tracks in total — connected by an open footbridge.

Notes

Train crossings use the island platform's tracks 2 and 3 only when necessary; an early morning service originates here at 06:05 for Obihiro.
