History

Horohira-Bashi Station opened on 16 December 1971 with the inaugural Kita-Nijūyo-Jō-to-Makomanai stretch of the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Namboku Line. The station takes its name from the Horohira Bridge that crosses the Toyohira River just east of the platforms. As the southern entrance to Nakajima Park, the stop sees lighter daily ridership than the park's northern Nakajima-Kōen station but draws large crowds on the days of the Hokkaidō Shrine Festival and the Toyohira River fireworks. Platform-edge doors were activated on 20 November 2012. A south-end floodgate has been retrofitted to seal the platform should the Toyohira River breach its banks.

Notes

A floodgate at the south end of Horohira-Bashi's platform can be lowered to seal the station against an overflow of the adjacent Toyohira River.
