History
Hokkaidō-Iryōdaigaku Station opened on 1 December 1981 as Daigakumae Station, a temporary halt requested by Higashi-Nihon Gakuen University (now the Health Sciences University of Hokkaido), which had been established on the site in 1974. It was upgraded to a full station on 1 April 1982 and passed to JR Hokkaido at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. The station was renamed to its present form on 16 March 1995 to track the university's own renaming a year earlier, and a dedicated turn-back bay platform opened on 1 December 1995. Electric services from Sapporo began on 1 June 2012 with electrification of the Sasshō Line as far as this station. Following sustained passenger decline on the non-electrified section beyond, that segment to Shin-Totsukawa was closed on 7 May 2020, leaving this station as the line's northern terminus.
Notes
JR Hokkaido has signalled it intends to rename the station again once the Health Sciences University of Hokkaido relocates the bulk of its operations to F Village in Kitahiroshima, currently planned for April 2028.
