History
Hassamu-Minami Station opened on 25 February 1999 with the Tōzai Line extension from Kotoni to Miyanosawa. The provisional working name during planning was simply Hassamu Station, but it was changed to Hassamu-Minami because JR Hokkaidō already operated a Hakodate Main Line station of the same reading nearby. The single island platform sits under the Nijūyon-Ken-Teine-dōri, with a connecting lift between the platform and the central concourse. Platform-edge doors entered service on 24 February 2009, and the station is designated as the substitute-transport stop for the JR Hassamu-Chūō station when JR Hokkaidō services are suspended for long periods.

Notes
Hassamu-Minami and the next stop, Miyanosawa, are the only stations on the Tōzai Line where the platform-to-concourse escalators face the opposite direction from the rest of the line.
