History

Makubetsu Station opened on 21 October 1905 as Yamuwakka Station (止若駅).[1] It was renamed to its current name, Makubetsu Station, in 1963.[2]

With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido).[1]
