History

Hassamu-Chūō Station opened on 1 November 1986 as a JNR temporary boarding-and-alighting halt on the Hakodate Main Line, equipped only with a simple pair of side platforms and a kiosk-attached waiting room from which staff sold tickets. It was upgraded to a full passenger station at the 1 April 1987 JR Hokkaido privatisation, and an overpass-style station building completed in March 1988 became the first such structure built by the new company. Automatic ticket gates were installed in December 1998 and Kitaca readers in October 2008. Barrier-free works finished on 5 March 2011, when the lifts entered public service.

Notes

The overpass-style building completed in March 1988 was the first bridge-over-the-tracks station building erected by JR Hokkaido after privatisation.
