History
Genseikaen Station is a seasonal halt on the Senmō Main Line in Koshimizu Town, serving as the nearest stop to the Koshimizu Genseikaen wild-flower meadows. It opened on 1 June 1964 as a JNR provisional halt (kari-jōkōjō) handling passengers only, was discontinued on 2 October 1978, and was reopened by JR Hokkaido as a temporary station on 1 July 1987. Operating dates vary year to year; in 2024 it served trains from 25 April to 31 October. The unstaffed single-platform station is managed from Shiretoko-Shari and has a log-cabin-style building. Soon after the JR-era reopening, Shari Station dispatched staff during the day to sell tickets, commemorative passes, orange cards, and souvenirs to tourists. On 16 March 2025 the station name sign was blown down by strong winds during the off-season.
Notes
Shortly after JR Hokkaido reopened the station, Shari Station dispatched staff during the day so that orange cards, railway goods, and souvenirs could be sold from this seasonal halt.
