History

Kanjō-Dōri-Higashi Station (number H04) is a Sapporo Municipal Subway station on the Tōhō Line in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. It opened on 2 December 1988 with the Tōhō Line's inaugural Sakaemachi–Hōsui-Susukino segment — the pre-construction working titles cycled from "Hokkō" (1981) to "Kita-15-jō" (1983) before the present name was chosen — and platform-edge doors were activated on 23 February 2017. The station is the only one in Higashi-ku that hosts a commuter-pass sales counter. Higashi-ku, the city's second-most populous ward (after Kita-ku), traces its modern origins to 1866 when Ōtomo Kametarō began farming on the Fushiko-gawa under shogunate orders — the "Ōtomo-bori" channel he dug is the upstream origin of the Sōsei-gawa — and the area was incorporated into Sapporo with the 1955 merger of Sapporo-mura.

Notes

A handful of "Ōtomo-related" reminders cluster around the station: the Sapporo-mura Local History Museum stands on the site of Ōtomo Kametarō's official residence (a Sapporo-designated historic site), the adjacent Ōtomo Park lies on his Hakodate-Bugyō "experimental farm" land, and the present prefectural road 273 (the former Motomura-Kaidō) preserves the original village-road alignment — all are area landmarks.
