Tokachi-Shimizu

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

Tokachi-Shimizu Station opened on 8 September 1907 as Shimizu Station on the Japanese Government Railways, and from 16 June 1926 was joined in front of its building by the Kasai Railway — later the Tokachi Railway Shimizu Branch. To avoid confusion with a Tōkaidō Main Line stop being renamed Shimizu, the name was changed to Tokachi-Shimizu on 20 November 1934. The Tokachi Railway branch closed on 1 July 1951. Freight handling and other facilities were progressively wound down through the 1980s and the station passed to JR Hokkaido on 1 April 1987. Track-side improvements for higher-speed Sekishō and Nemuro line operation were carried out in FY1994, and ticket-vending was withdrawn in February 2025.

Since the closure of Tokachi-Mitsumata Station on the Shihoro Line on 23 March 1987, Tokachi-Shimizu has been the sole JR station whose name carries the historic province name "Tokachi".
