History
ROYCE' Town Station was built as a petition station after the town of Tōbetsu and chocolate-maker Royce' Confect jointly requested a new infill stop on the Sasshō Line in January 2020. Royce' funded the platform and station building at roughly ¥930 million, while Tōbetsu paid about ¥600 million for the station plaza. Construction began in spring 2021 and the station itself opened on 12 March 2022 — the first new on-line station opened by JR Hokkaido since Nagareyama-Onsen in 2002, and the first new Sasshō Line stop since Hachiken in 1988. Soft ground delayed the surrounding plaza, which entered service in December 2022.
Notes
The station's blue exterior matches Royce' brand colour, while the interior is finished in birch — the town tree of Tōbetsu.
