History

Kiyosatochō Station opened on 14 November 1929 as Kami-Shari Station, a general station of Japanese Government Railways on what is now the Senmō Main Line. After Kami-Shari Village became Kiyosato Town on 1 August 1955, the station was renamed Kiyosatochō on 10 April 1956; the suffix chō ('town') was kept to distinguish it from the existing Kiyosato Station on the Koumi Line. The building was rebuilt on 1 August 1965 and a footbridge added on 30 September 1968. Freight ended on 20 May 1983, parcels on 1 February 1984, and staff on 1 November 1986, after which the station was simply commissioned. JR Hokkaido inherited the station in 1987; Kiosk took over the commission in 1990 but closed in January 1993, briefly transferring it to a local shop before the commission lapsed entirely in March 1996.

Notes

After the station became unstaffed, its former station office was occupied for a time by an electronics shop that doubled as a video-rental store.
