Chiyogaoka

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

Chiyogaoka Station opened on 10 September 1936 as a general station, when the Ministry of Railways inserted it between Biei and Bebetsu (later Nishi-Kagura) on the Furano Line. It passed to Japanese National Railways in June 1949. Freight handling ended on 1 November 1962, and parcel handling and staff on 1 September 1983, after which the station has been unstaffed. At the 1 April 1987 privatisation it passed to JR Hokkaido. In November 2003 the Furano Line was used for a week-long feasibility trial of an Asahikawa Airport rail-and-bus link, with free shuttle buses timed to trains running between the station and the airport about four kilometres away. The station has two side platforms connected by a level crossing on the tracks; the station building sits to the right when facing Furano.

The station's hilly hinterland was once an Imperial estate (goryōchi); when the land was parcelled out to private owners, part of it was named Chiyogaoka — 'thousand-generations hill' — in the hope that the area would prosper for a thousand generations and beyond.
