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 hall sits only nine metres below the surface—the shallowest on the Sapporo Subway.

Notes
Sitting just 9 m below street level, Kita-Jūni-Jō has the shallowest concourse on the Sapporo Municipal Subway, yet its split-level layout long made it the network's hardest station to make barrier-free.
