Location

History

Katsuradai Station opened on 1 April 1967 as a JNR provisional halt (kari-jōkōjō) on the Senmō Main Line in Abashiri, handling passengers only. With the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987, the halt was promoted to a full station and passed to JR Hokkaido. Its operating distance was formally set on 10 March 1990, and the building was rebuilt in November 1994. The name combines one character each from the neighbouring districts Katsura-chō to the west and Dai-machi to the east. The unstaffed single-platform station sits halfway up a slope along Hokkaido Prefectural Route 490; alone among the stations served only by the Senmō Main Line, it falls under the Asahikawa Branch, being managed from Abashiri Station.

Notes

Among the stations served only by the Senmō Main Line, Katsuradai is the only one that falls under JR Hokkaido's Asahikawa Branch, because it is managed from Abashiri Station.
