Ebeotsu

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

Ebeotsu Station opened on 16 July 1898 as a general station on the Hokkaido Government Railway, about 7.7 km north of Takikawa. Because the original site was peat bog unsuitable for farming or settlement, the station was relocated in 1901 to its present position 378.2 km from Hakodate. It was transferred to the government railways in 1905. The third building, with a wooden footbridge, replaced an aging predecessor in February 1926, and the present (fourth) building was completed in February 1953. Typhoon Tōyamaru (Typhoon 15) collapsed the footbridge in September 1954, and a reinforced-concrete replacement opened in February 1955. The section from Fukazawa Signal Station, immediately on the Takikawa side, to Ebeotsu was double-tracked in September 1966, and the Takikawa–Asahikawa stretch was electrified in October 1969. Freight handling ended in 1982 and parcel handling in 1984, and the simple commission lapsed on 1 April 2003, leaving the station unstaffed. JR Hokkaido inherited the station in 1987 and added Kitaca IC card service on 16 March 2024.

The station's footbridge was destroyed by Typhoon Tōyamaru on 26 September 1954, and a reinforced-concrete replacement was put into service the following February.
