Location

History

Tōma Station opened on 4 November 1922 with the inauguration of the Ministry of Railways' Sekihoku Line between Shin-Asahikawa and Aibetsu. Successive line-name changes through the Sekihoku West Line (1927) and Sekihoku Line (1932) culminated in the formation of the Sekihoku Main Line on 1 April 1961. The present concrete station building dates from a 1966 reconstruction. Freight and parcel handling ended in 1978 and 1984, the stop became unstaffed under CTC working in November 1984, and full unstaffing followed in late 2005. At the 1987 JNR breakup the station passed to JR Hokkaido. Since 1998 the old ticket office has housed the "Agri Station TOHMA" farm-produce stall.

Notes

The station name is a corruption of the Ainu to-oma-nay, "valley stream with a pond."
