Location
History
Gakuden Station opened on 25 March 1958 as a Japanese National Railways station between Furano and Naka-Furano, added together with Shikauchi to coincide with the start of diesel-railcar service on the Furano Line. It has handled passengers only. JR Hokkaido inherited the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The unstaffed station has a single side platform on the right when looking toward Furano, with a waiting room on the platform itself; some Furano Line trains pass through without stopping.
Notes
The name Gakuden ('school fields') reflects that the surrounding land was used around 1896 as practice farmland for Sapporo Agricultural College, the forerunner of Hokkaido University.
