Location

History

The station was inaugurated on 10 December 1902 as Hongō, the terminus of the Hokkaidō Railway's line from the first-generation Hakodate Station; it became an intermediate stop when the line was extended on to Mori on 28 June 1903. After nationalisation in 1907 and the 1909 line-naming reorganisation it joined the Hakodate Main Line. It was renamed Oshima-Ōno on 1 April 1942, and was made unstaffed in stages from 1986. Construction began in 2005 for the Hokkaidō Shinkansen terminal here; a temporary structure operated from 2012 while the new station rose, and the present building was completed in September 2015. On 26 March 2016 the Shinkansen extension from Shin-Aomori opened and the stop was renamed Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto.

Notes

The station building's interior reflects local heritage, with locally produced Dōnan (southern Hokkaidō) cedar lining the ceiling and walls and brick of the kind whose Hokkaidō origins are traced to Motoheji in Hokuto, while a Kenshirō statue from the manga Fist of the North Star stands in the adjoining Hokuto city tourism exchange centre as a play on the city name.
