History

A reduced-size replica of Sapporo Station 1908 (Historical Village of Hokkaido)

Sapporo Station opened on 28 November 1880 as a terminus of the Horonai Railway.[2] A new station building was built in 1881 and it was enlarged as Sapporo developed.[citation needed] In 1908, the station building was rebuilt because of a fire in 1907. The restored building can be found in the Historical Village of Hokkaido in Nopporo Forest Park.[citation needed]

The third reconstruction was finished in 1951 and the Sapporo Subway was opened in 1971. An underground shopping center was started in 1972 and a commercial building was opened on the east side of the station in 1978.[citation needed]

With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido.[2]

The current building was built in 2003.[citation needed]

Overnight sleeping car trains Cassiopeia, Hokutosei, and Hamanasu served the station prior to their discontinuation.
