Hiushinai

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Hiushinai Station opened on 5 October 1912 when the Railway Bureau's Abashiri Line was extended from Nokkeushi (today's Kitami) to the original Abashiri Station, placing the new halt in what is now the Tanno district of Kitami city. The route was renamed the Abashiri Main Line later that year and was absorbed into the Sekihoku Main Line in 1961. Freight handling ended in 1975, and the station became unstaffed in January 1983 when CTC came into service. At the 1987 JNR privatisation the stop passed to JR Hokkaido, and the present station building dates from a 1988 reconstruction. In June 2023 JR Hokkaido named Hiushinai among 42 lightly-used stations slated for possible closure.

The name is thought to come either from Ainu "susu-us-nay" (willow-grown stream) or "pi-us-nay" (stone-rich stream); both etymologies are recorded as plausible.
