Toasa

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

Toasa Station opened on 21 September 1902 as a general station of the private Hokkaido Colliery Railway between Numanohata and Hayakita. The original plan had been to build the station roughly 700 m south on higher ground, but residents successfully lobbied for the current location. The line was nationalised on 1 October 1906 and became the Muroran Main Line on 12 October 1909. A second station building replaced the original in 1923, platforms were rebuilt in 1953, and the present third-generation building opened in January 1981. Freight handling ended on 16 March 1972, parcels on 15 May 1980, and the station was unstaffed from that date under a simple commission, which itself lapsed at an unrecorded later date. On 2 November 1981 the station came under the control of Oiwake Station when the Iwamizawa–Numanohata section of the Muroran Main Line was placed under CTC, and JR Hokkaido inherited the station at the 1987 privatisation.

The current building, in use since January 1981, is a near-twin of the Kojōhama Station building elsewhere on the Muroran Line; the only obvious difference is Toasa's maroon-coloured gable ends.
