History
Kita-Nagayama Station began life in December 1947 as an unofficial halt set up by Japanese Government Railways between Nagayama and Pippu, in an 8 km gap originally bridged by no intermediate station. Residents of the surrounding villages had lobbied for the stop since 1947, and on 1 November 1959 it was formally promoted to a station, taking the current name. The site moved 600 m south on 7 April 1990 so that students at the newly relocated Asahikawa Agricultural High School could use it. At the 1987 JNR privatisation operation passed to JR Hokkaido. The stop remains a single-platform unstaffed halt on the Sōya Main Line, with only a handful of local trains calling each day.
