• Namboku Line: Kita sanjuyo jo

Asabu Station opened on 16 March 1978 on the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Namboku Line, in the same opening as the line's extension from this point south to Kita-Nijūyojō. The station has formed the northern terminus of the Namboku Line ever since, and its turn-back arrangements vary by season: from 1 April to 31 July platform 1 dispatches southbound trains and arriving services use platform 2 before reversing beyond the station, while from 1 August through 31 March both platforms handle arrivals and departures in sequence. Although Asabu lies close to Shin-Kotoni Station on the Sasshō Line, the two stations are not connected by a passageway.

Despite sitting roughly 200 m from the Sasshō Line's Shin-Kotoni Station, the only way to transfer between the two is to leave Asabu via Exit 3 and walk the connecting block above ground.
