History
Bokoi Station opened on 29 December 1935 as a Railway Ministry passenger-and-baggage simple station, served only by gasoline railcars. It was promoted to a full passenger station on 10 June 1940. Baggage handling ended on 15 May 1980, staff were withdrawn on 31 March 1984, and the station became a contractor-staffed (kan'i itaku) stop the next day, with Muroran Co-op handling counter duties. Operation passed to JR Hokkaido at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The contractor role expanded in 1999. The original wooden depot from 1935 remains in use today on the south side of the platforms.
Notes
Each May the station sells a "Mother's Day commemorative ticket" — the name Bokoi contains the kanji for "mother" (母) and "love" (恋), making the play on words a long-running local tradition.
