Sapporo Station opened on 28 November 1880 as a terminus of the Horonai Railway. [3] A new station building was built in 1881 and it was enlarged as Sapporo developed.[ citation needed] In 1908, the station building was rebuilt because of a fire in 1907. The restored building can be found in the Historical Village of Hokkaido in Nopporo Forest Park.[ citation needed]
The third reconstruction was finished in 1951 and the Sapporo Subway was opened in 1971. An underground shopping center was started in 1972, and a commercial building was opened on the east side of the station in 1978.[ citation needed]
With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido. [3]
The current building was built in 2003.[ citation needed]
Overnight sleeping car trains Cassiopeia, Hokutosei, and Hamanasu served the station prior to their discontinuation.
