History
Kita-Jūhachi-Jō Station opened on 16 December 1971 as part of the inaugural Makomanai-to-Kita-Nijūyo-Jō stretch of the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Namboku Line. The site had a much older streetcar predecessor: from 1927 the Sapporo streetcar's Tetsuhoku Line terminated at a stop of the same name about 100 m west on the Tarukawa-dōri, extended further north in 1952 and finally withdrawn south of Kita-24-Jō on the day the subway opened. Lifts and accessible toilets entered service on 31 March 2009, and platform-edge doors were activated on 31 August 2012.
