Location
History
Ōasa Station opened on 15 December 1966 as a passenger-only JNR stop on the Hakodate Main Line between Atsubetsu and Nopporo, the result of a multi-year lobbying campaign by residents of the Ōasa, Moto-Nopporo and Shin-Nopporo districts and the Hokkaidō government. A south entrance opened on 5 February 1987, and JR Hokkaido inherited the station at the JNR privatisation that 1 April. Automatic fare gates followed at both entrances in December 1998, Kitaca IC service began on 25 October 2008, and an earthquake-resistance retrofit of the station building ran from March to June 2017. The station now anchors a dense educational and residential district.
Notes
Sapporo Gakuin University, Hokushō University and Rakuno Gakuen University all lie within walking distance of the south exit, turning the station forecourt into a de-facto college quarter.
