Gojikkoku Station is served by the Senmo Main Line, and lies 36.7 km from Kushiro.[1] The station is numbered B60.
The station has one side platform serving a single bidirectional line. The station is unstaffed.
The station opened on 15 September 1927.[1] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Hokkaido.[1]
In September 2016, JR Hokkaido announced that it intended to close the station from the start of the revised timetable in March 2017, due to low passenger usage.[2]
In fiscal 2015, the station was used on average by less than one passenger daily. There were 3 users in 2015, but the number was estimated to drop to 1 by the next year.[2]
