History
Hōsui-Susukino Station opened on 2 December 1988 as the southern terminus of the inaugural Sakaemachi-to-Hōsui-Susukino segment of the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Tōhō Line, and remained the terminus until the extension to Fukuzumi opened on 14 October 1994. Although the Namboku Line's Susukino Station lies only about 300 m to the west, there is no direct underground passage between them, so no free interchange is possible. After protracted local disputes between the Susukino and Hōsui neighbourhood associations the compound name Hōsui-Susukino was settled on in June 1987. Platform-edge doors were installed in November 2016, and a Lawson convenience store opened inside the station on 31 January 2019.

Notes
After complaints from local residents the in-train announcers' pitch on the station's name was flattened in 2009—the original accent on the first syllable of 'Hōsui' had been deemed too pronounced.
