Location

History

Masuura Station opened on 15 November 1924 as a general station of Japanese Government Railways on what is now the Senmō Main Line. Following the Abashiri Station relocation it was re-mileaged on 1 December 1932, and freight and parcel handling ended on 25 October 1960. The station was placed under contract operation on 1 April 1963 and became fully unstaffed on 1 September 1966. Operation passed to JR Hokkaido at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. In December 2014 the old building was demolished and a smaller, roughly 10-square-metre wooden waiting room was completed on the line side of the original footprint on 5 January 2015, scaled to fit reduced ridership.

Notes

A swimming beach on the Sea of Okhotsk near the station operated from 1966 to 1996 and drew crowds of bathers; the sea itself can be seen from the platform.
