Location

History

Oshironai Station opened as a general-service station on 25 December 1927 when Oshima Coastal Railway's section between Higashi-Mori Temporary Station and Sawara was completed. The station was then at a location different from today's. When Oshima Coastal Railway was nationalized on 25 January 1945 it became a station on the state railway's Hakodate Main Line and reopened after being relocated about 250 m toward Shikabe Station from the old site. It passed to Japanese National Railways in 1949. Freight handling ended on 10 June 1960 and parcel handling on 26 October 1971; the station was unstaffed that same day (becoming a simplified-contract station), and was fully unstaffed around 1976. It passed to JR Hokkaido at the division and privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. The old station building was demolished in March 1988 and replaced with a building converted from a WaMu 80000-class freight wagon.

Notes

The current station building is a converted Wamu 80000 freight wagon, painted green-white-green on its sides — the previous station building was demolished in March 1988.
