Takuhoku

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

Takuhoku Station opened on 15 December 1967 on the JNR Sasshō Line as Higashi-Shinoro Station, after the Hokkaidō workers' housing cooperative built the nearby Himawari housing estate and offered to cover the full cost of a new petitioning-built stop. JR Hokkaido inherited the staff-contracted halt at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, and the line was given the Gakuen-Toshi nickname in 1991. The station was renamed Takuhoku on 16 March 1995 in tandem with a second platform and overpass; double-tracking through the station completed on 22 March 1997, electrification followed on 1 June 2012, and an elevator and relocated south entrance were added in March 2017.

Takuhoku replaced the older place-name Kamayausu after the area was renamed in 1937, because the surrounding land had become property of the Hokkaidō Colonisation Bank (Hokkaidō Takushoku Ginkō).
