Location

History

Uenae Station opened on 21 August 1926 as a freight stop on the second Hokkaido Railway's Sapporo Line, in what is now Tomakomai, Hokkaido. The company was nationalised under wartime takeover on 1 August 1943, bringing the station onto the Chitose Line of the Ministry of Railways; freight and parcel handling began on 25 December 1945. Freight was discontinued on 1 August 1960. The Bibi-side double track came into service on 23 August 1968 and the Numanohata-side double track on 25 September 1969. The station became unstaffed on 15 May 1980, and JR Hokkaido inherited it at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Kitaca IC fares began on 25 October 2008.

Notes

Uenae has no conventional ticket gates but is fitted with simple Kitaca card readers; the station is unstaffed and has no automated ticket machines.
