Location

History

Kita-Jūni-Jō Station opened on 16 December 1971 as part of the original Makomanai-to-Kita-Nijūyo-Jō stretch of the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Namboku Line. Lifts entered public service on 1 April 2009, and platform-edge doors were commissioned on 13 September 2012. The station serves Hokkaido University, whose campus and hospital lie about 100 m to the west; it is also one of the closest subway stops to Sapporo's first mosque, opened nearby. A sub-name, 'Meiwa-Jūken-Mae', was added to the station signage on 1 December 2025. The station itself sits only nine metres below the surface — the shallowest on the Sapporo Municipal Subway.

Notes

Sitting just 9 m below street level, Kita-Jūni-Jō is the shallowest station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway, yet the flight of stairs that remains between its ticket gates and its platforms long made it the network's hardest station to make barrier-free.
