History

The station opened on September 30, 1943 as Koboro Yard (Koboro shingōjō). Despite its classification as shingōjō, it accepted passengers use. The classification was changed on October 1, 1967 to Koboro Provisional Stop (Koboro kari-jōkōjō). It was given the status of full station and named Koboro Station on April 1, 1987 when JR Hokkaido was established. However, the location of the station was not officially defined by the distance for the purpose of fare calculation until March 10, 1990.[1]

In August 2015, it was announced that JR Hokkaido planned to close the station in autumn 2015, possibly as early as the end of October,[2] but in September 2015, it was revealed that JR Hokkaido was in discussion with the local government to keep the station open.[3]

Surrounding area

This station is surrounded by only a steep cliff and the sea, making this station one of the most secluded in Japan.[2]

gollark: Plus it might be dependent on long-term environmental things or genetics, in which case good luck.
gollark: I would assume it's because the immune system still isn't extremely well-understood, and vaccination is easier and more consistent.
gollark: Huh, this somehow runs at 100 FPS.
gollark: The existing things I know of just use textures for IO as there's not any other way.
gollark: I'm not sure how you'd do it as something which is actually shadery and renders recognizable output.
