Naka-Aibetsu

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Naka-Aibetsu Station opened on 15 November 1923 when the Railway Ministry extended its Sekihoku Line between Aibetsu and Kamikawa, placing the new stop in the village (now town) of Aibetsu in Hokkaido's Kamikawa District. After successive line-name reorganisations it became part of the Sekihoku Main Line in 1961, and at the 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways the station passed to JR Hokkaido. The station building was rebuilt in 1988, and from 1989 the stop has been fully unstaffed. Today it remains a quiet two-platform halt served only by local trains, sitting between rice paddies, hills and the Ishikari River in farmland.

The name is literally "middle Aibetsu," coined because the station sits in what was then the geographic centre of Aibetsu village.
