History

[edit]

In June 2023, this station was selected to be among 42 stations on the JR Hokkaido network to be slated for abolition owing to low ridership according to a press release from Hokkaido Shinbun. However, Shibecha wasn't informed of this plan. 3 days after the news, a JR Hokkaido employee visited the town hall and informed the town that they had no plans to close the station.[1]
