Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Bibaushi Station (number F38) is on the JR Hokkaido Furano Line in Biei, Kamikawa District, Hokkaido. When the Tokachi Line (the predecessor of the Furano Line) opened in 1899 there was no station here — the 15.9 km gap between Biei and Kami-Furano led local residents to petition the railway, and after a campaign led by the local landowner Numazaki Jūhei the station was finally opened on 10 September 1926 by the Railway Ministry. Biei, in central Hokkaido between the Tokachi-dake mountains and the Yūbari Range, is a town of the Kamikawa Subprefecture and a member of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Japan" association, where rolling hills, the Blue Pond and Shikisai-no-Oka are landscapes widely known as representative of Hokkaido.

In 1955, local residents erected a monument on the station forecourt honouring Numazaki Jūhei, the landowner whose petitioning had secured the 1926 opening.
