History[]
The station opened on 5 October 1914 as Ponmuka Station (奔無加駅).[1] It was renamed Kanehana on 20 July 1951.[1] The station was destaffed in 1983.[2] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido.[1]
JR Hokkaido announced in July 2015 that it planned to close the station from the start of the revised timetable in March 2016, citing low passenger usage figures.[2] The station closed following the last day of services on 25 March 2016.[3]
