Pippu

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

Pippu Station opened on 25 November 1898 with the extension of the Hokkaido Government Railway's Teshio Line between Nagayama and Ranru. Its establishment contributed to the rapid development of the Pippu plain and was an indirect cause of Pippu separating from Takasu to become an independent village in 1906. Subsequent route renamings — Sōya Line in 1912, Sōya Main Line in 1919 — left the station on the line linking Asahikawa with Wakkanai. Freight handling ended in 1978, and the station building — completed in 1898 and rebuilt in November 1934 — was taken out of use in 2015. Pippu Town replaced it in 2016 with a wooden single-storey building modelled on the old depot, housing a café and gift shop alongside the unstaffed waiting room.

Pippu is the only currently-operating JR station whose name begins with a handakuten syllable (the small circle marking "pi"); its quirky name made it the star of a 1980 "Pip Elekiban" TV commercial.
