History
Shin-Sapporo Station, station T19 on the Sapporo Municipal Subway Tōzai Line, opened on 21 March 1982 with the line's extension from Shiroishi to this new eastern terminus. A formal opening ceremony was held the previous day, but the inaugural service was disrupted briefly when the Urakawa-oki Earthquake struck. Platform-edge screen doors entered service on 17 September 2008, one-person operation began with a ceremony on 1 April 2009, and a tenth entrance linking directly to the Māruku Shin-Sapporo complex opened on 26 October 2023. The station sits beneath Atsubetsu Aoba-dōri with a single island platform 170 m long and roughly 15 m wide, the widest on the Sapporo subway. The Sapporo Transportation Bureau records an average of 23,277 boardings per day in fiscal 2024, the third-busiest subway station after Ōdōri and Sapporo.
Notes
Shin-Sapporo Station is the easternmost subway station in Japan. The hiragana spelling 'shin-Sapporo' was adopted by Sapporo's transit bureau to distinguish it from the adjacent JR Shin-Sapporo Station written in kanji.
