is a railway station on the Namboku Line in Kita-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, operated by the Sapporo Municipal Subway. The station is numbered N01.
While situated relatively close to Shin-Kotoni Station on the Sasshō Line, there are no transfer passageways between the two stations. To reach Shin-Kotoni, you must take Exit 3 and walk outside for 200m.
Asabu Station is served by the Namboku Line, and forms the northern terminus of the line. From April 1st to July 31st every year, Platform 1 serves departing southbound trains, with trains arriving at Platform 2 immediately going out of service before going to a turn-around point beyond the station. From August 1st through March 31st, both platforms serve arriving and departing trains in sequence.
The station opened on 16 March 1978, coinciding with the opening of the Namboku Line extension from this station to Kita-Nijūyo-Jō Station.[1]
