History
Maruseppu Station opened on 10 October 1927 as a general station, when the Ministry of Railways extended the Sekihoku East Line from Engaru. The Murii Forest Railway connected at the station in 1928, making it a busy interchange for timber and freight traffic with numerous sidings. The line became the Sekihoku Line in 1932 and the Sekihoku Main Line in 1961. From the 1 October 1981 timetable revision the Limited Express Okhotsk began stopping here. Freight handling ended in 1982, parcels in 1984, and the station was unstaffed from 10 November 1984. JR Hokkaido inherited the station in 1987, rebuilt it in 1988, and replaced it again in 2000 in a combined building with the Maruseppu Lifelong Learning Centre. Since the 15 March 2025 timetable change every passenger train stops here.
Notes
The current building, opened in 2000, is shared with the Maruseppu Lifelong Learning Centre and houses a library and a daycare alongside the station functions.
