In Meiji 31st year, a railway opened from Sorachibuto (current Takikawa) to Asahikawa. In the same 34th year, it was established as Kamui Kotan Nukui Stop, and in the same 36th year, it became Kamui Kotan Station. After that, in Showa 44th year, due to the section between Osamunai and Inō Station of the Hakodate Main Line being tunnelized, it was actually used as a station building until it became an abandoned station.

In Heisei 1st year, it was restored based on its appearance at the time of abandonment, and in the same year, it was designated as a designated cultural property of Asahikawa City as a valuable Western architecture of the Meiji period. Currently, it is popular among many people as one of the spots of the scenic spot Kamui Kotan, and also as a rest stop for the Asahikawa Cycling Road.
