Kushiro (Hokkaido)

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

The first Kushiro Station opened on 20 July 1901 as the terminus of the Hokkaidō Kansetsu Tetsudō between Kushiro and Shiranuka, with a locomotive shed alongside. Operation passed to the government on 1 April 1905. When the line was extended east to Hama-Akkeshi on 1 December 1917 the passenger station was moved to its present site and the original building became Hama-Kushiro freight-only station. The Senmō Main Line began operating from Kushiro on 15 September 1927. The current four-storey "people's station" building was completed on 1 August 1961. JR Hokkaido and JR Freight inherited the stop on 1 April 1987; freight operations were withdrawn on 1 April 2006.

Kushiro's departure-display board is the easternmost LED-type passenger-information display in Japan, and the station itself is the easternmost stop on a regularly scheduled limited-express service.
