Location
History
Toshibetsu Station opened on 15 December 1904 as a stop on the Hokkaido Government Railway, which was annexed to the Japanese Government Railways on 1 April 1905. On 1 November 1967 the station was relocated roughly 630 metres toward Takikawa, the move forced by reconstruction of the deteriorating Toshibetsu River bridge and the embankment work that accompanied it; a single-storey reinforced-concrete building was put up at the new site, and freight handling ended that same year. Parcel handling was discontinued on 1 February 1984 and the station became unstaffed on 1 December 1984. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it came under JR Hokkaido.
Notes
During the Second World War a military spur ran from Toshibetsu to a relocated Imperial Army aircraft repair workshop, evacuated here from the Obihiro airfield in 1944.
