Furen

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

Fūren Station is on the JR Hokkaido Sōya Main Line in Nayoro, Hokkaido, having opened on 3 September 1903 as part of the Teshio Line extension from Shibetsu to Nayoro. The station is in the former Fūren town area, which was merged into Nayoro on 27 March 2006 to form the present-day Nayoro City. The city sits in the Nayoro Basin in the central-north of Hokkaido under the Kamikawa Subprefecture and serves as the regional centre for the northern Kamikawa district north of Shiokari Pass; its primary industry is agriculture, and it has at times recorded the largest mochi (glutinous-rice) production in Japan.

Nayoro is the northernmost large-scale producer of mochi-rice in Japan — the mochi-rice used in Ise's famous Akafuku confection is sourced primarily from Nayoro, and Lotte's Yukimi Daifuku ice-cream skin also uses Nayoro-grown rice.
