Location

History

Hakurindai Station opened on 1 November 1986 as a temporary halt on the Nemuro Main Line, set up by Japanese National Railways to serve the adjacent Hakurindai housing estate in Obihiro. It was promoted to a full passenger station and renamed Hakurindai with the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, when control passed to JR Hokkaido. The station was rebuilt as an elevated structure on 24 November 1996, giving it a single side platform served from a stairway at street level; it has been unstaffed since opening and has no automatic gates. Around it lies a residential district anchored by the apartment blocks of the Hakurindai complex.

Notes

The station takes its name from the adjacent Hakurindai apartment estate, whose residents had always made up most of its passengers.
