Shin-Yoshino

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

Shin-Yoshino Station opened on 7 January 1910 as Shita-Korobe Station, a general station of the Japanese Government Railways. The original Ainu-derived name proved unwieldy and was changed on 1 April 1942 to Shin-Yoshino. Freight handling ended on 20 May 1983, parcels on 1 February 1984, and the last staff on 1 December 1984, although JNR clerks continued to sell tickets until 31 March 1985. JR Hokkaido took over in 1987, and the simple commission lapsed on 1 April 1992, leaving the station unstaffed. The 1996 Sekishō/Nemuro speed-up programme replaced the points with elastic turnouts and reconfigured the station as a single-track through layout, retaining the old up-direction loop as a passing-only siding.

Seven hay-and-grass merchants clustered around the station made it Hokkaido's leading shipper of forage to Honshū until trucks took over in the mid-1970s.
