History
Aoba Station opened on 3 November 1988, less than two years after the privatisation of the Japanese National Railways, as a passenger-only stop newly built by JR Hokkaido on the Muroran Main Line in central Tomakomai. The station, which is named after the Aoba district in which it stands, consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. The small attended-style station building stands on the down platform (platform 2) and houses an automated ticket machine. The two platforms are not linked by a footbridge inside the station; passengers transfer using a nearby public underpass. Aoba is administered as an unstaffed stop under the management of Tomakomai Station.
