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]

With the coming of the Hokkaido Shinkansen in 2016, the rebuilt station features large windows and white support pillars modeled after poplar trees near the local Trappist monastery. Ticket vending machines are located on the second floor of the structure. The inside uses a large number of locally sourced cedar lumber and Hokkaido bricks.[5]

On March 26, the Hokkaido Line will finally connect Honshu, Japan's main island, to the northern island of Hokkaido by high-speed bullet train. To welcome the occasion, the Oshima-Ōno Station in Hokuto, Hokkaido, will be remodeled into the "New Hakodate-Hokuto Station," and will receive a bronze Fist of the North Star statue.[6]
