History

The area surrounding the station was farmland until the last half of the 20th century. It had been vacant lands where roads and railways had passed through. The expansion of Sapporo city inspired JR Hokkaido to plan urbanization here. The station opened in 1995. Hoshi in Japanese means 'star' and mi is 'looking' in English, so Hoshimi means 'Looking Stars'. It was named after the Hoshimi Bridge, which cross the Hoshioki River.
