History
The station 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]
The station has been rebuilt and renamed Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station (新函館北斗駅?), becoming a stop on the Hokkaido Shinkansen high-speed line, which opened on 26 March 2016.[2][3] "Relay" shuttle services using three-car 733 series electric trains operate to and from the centrally-located Hakodate Station (approximately 18 km away).[4]
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]
The Hokkaido Shinkansen, connecting Honshu, Japan's main island, to the northern island of Hokkaido commenced service on 26 March 2016. Due to the line's extension to Sapporo (under construction), the Oshima-Ōno Station at Hokuto, Hokkaido, has been upgraded into the "New Hakodate-Hokuto Station," and received a bronze Fist of the North Star statue.[6]
Future
The extension of the Hokkaido Shinkansen to Sapporo is scheduled to commence operation in 2031.
