Location

History

Nagayama Station opened on 12 August 1898 as a general station on the Hokkaido Government Railway's Teshio Line, with an extension toward Ranru following on 25 November. It passed to the Imperial Railway Bureau in 1905 and was successively redesignated as part of the Sōya Line (1912) and Sōya Main Line (1919). After transfer to Japanese National Railways in 1949, regular freight and parcel handling ended in February 1984. JR Hokkaido inherited the station at the 1987 privatisation. As part of the 2000 speed-up programme for the Asahikawa–Nayoro section, the points were replaced with elastic turnouts. The station remains staffed for operations and offers a Midori-no-Madoguchi reserved-ticket counter; rapid Nayoro services stop here.

Notes

Because the Sōya Main Line's signalling system changes here — automatic block to the south, electronic block to the north — every northbound train must stop at Nagayama regardless of whether passengers board or alight.
