Location

History

Hakuyō Station opened on 1 December 1957 as a Japanese National Railways halt on the Sekihoku Main Line in Kitami, named after the nearby Kitami-Hakuyō Senior High School. With the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation the halt was promoted to a full station under JR Hokkaido. On 1 October 1992 the line here was elevated and the station was relocated 600 m east toward Aishino, becoming a single-platform elevated stop served by local trains and the "Kitami" rapid. The station is unstaffed and is used chiefly by students commuting to the local senior high school; the Kitami Institute of Technology and the Japanese Red Cross Hokkaido College of Nursing also stand nearby.

Notes

Hakuyō is the northernmost — and easternmost — elevated railway station in Japan.
