History
Shin-Kotoni Station opened on 20 November 1934 as a general-purpose stop on the new Japanese Government Railways Sasshō Southern Line between Sōen and Ishikari-Tōbetsu, sited on land donated by residents of the former Shin-Kotoni military colony. It joined the unified Sasshō Line in October 1935 and was inherited by Japanese National Railways in 1949. Freight handling ended in February 1979 and parcel service in 1984, when the stationmaster post was abolished and operations were placed under Sōen's management. JR Hokkaido took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The platforms were elevated on 22 August 1999, a new building followed on 11 March 2000, and electrification reached the station on 1 June 2012.
Notes
Asabu Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Namboku Line lies about 500 metres to the southeast, but there is no transfer passage between the two stations. A Sapporo streetcar line, the Tetsuhoku Line, once ran from Asabu-chō to a terminus in front of Shin-Kotoni Station about 300 metres to the southeast; that stop closed with the line on 1 May 1974.
