History

Old station building in 2008

The station first opened on 10 December 1902, named Hongō Station (本郷駅).[1] It was renamed Oshima-Ōno on 1 April 1942.[1] With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido.[1]

Future plans

Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto station under construction, July 2014

The station has rebuilt and is to be renamed Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station (新函館北斗駅), becoming a stop on the Hokkaido Shinkansen high-speed line when it opens on 26 March 2016.[2][3] "Relay" shuttle services using three-car 733 series electric trains are scheduled to operate to and from the centrally-located Hakodate Station (approximately 18 km away) when the high-speed line opens.[4]
