History
Moseushi Station (station number A23) is on the JR Hokkaido Hakodate Main Line in Moseushi, Uryū District, Hokkaido. It opened on 16 July 1898 as a station of the Hokkaido Government Railway; express services such as the Kamui once called here, and the IC card Kitaca became usable at the station on 16 March 2024. Moseushi is in the northern part of Hokkaido's Sorachi Subprefecture, at the centre of the Uryū Plain on the northern end of the Ishikari Plain, with all of its territory flat — the town's central area sits on the right bank of the Ishikari River and is surrounded by paddy fields. The town gained town status in 1952 and runs an agriculture-led economy specialised in rice production, with herb-based pesticide-free cultivation also practised.
Notes
The line that became the Rumoi Main Line was originally planned to branch off the Hakodate Main Line at Moseushi Station, but lobbying by the Numata-area developer Numata Kisaburō shifted the junction to Fukagawa instead, so Moseushi never became a junction station.
