Kuriyama

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Kuriyama Station opened on 1 July 1893 as a general station of the Hokkaido Colliery & Railway after local residents petitioned for a stop on the 1892 Iwamizawa–Muroran line. The original building burned down in January 1901 and was replaced later the same year; another rebuild followed on 19 December 1934. The Yūbari Railway connected here from 14 October 1926, making the station a junction until that line's passenger services were suspended on 1 April 1974 and formally closed on 1 April 1975. Freight ended on 1 February 1984 and JR Hokkaido took over on 1 April 1987. A combined station-and-cultural-centre building, "Kuriyama Culture Plaza Eki", was completed in December 2000.

In Kuriyama Park near the station, a Yūbari Railway No. 21 — a privately ordered locomotive of the same JNR Class 9600 type — is preserved on static display.
