History
Mizuho Station opened on 1 September 1956 as a temporary stop (kari-jōkōjō) on the Japanese National Railways Sōya Main Line, between Tayoro and Fūren in northern Hokkaidō. Local residents built the present waiting room and bicycle shelter in June 1978. At the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR the stop was promoted to a full passenger station and transferred to JR Hokkaido under the name Mizuho, and an operating distance was set for it on 10 March 1990. Its single side platform is wooden and only a single car long, and the station stands amid the farmland of Shibetsu. In June 2023 JR Hokkaido named it as one of 42 stations on its network slated for abolition.
Notes
The current waiting room and bicycle shelter were not built by the railway operator — they were constructed in June 1978 by local volunteers.
