History

This station was opened in 1906 as Vladimirovka Station as part of the Korsakov (Ōdomari) - Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (Toyohara) line. In 1908, this station was renamed to Toyohara Station (Japanese: 豊原駅). In 1911, the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - Novoaleksandrovka (Konuma) line opened. In 1925, the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - Kurskaya-Sakhalinskaya (Suzuya) line opened and the station became a hub. In 1946, this station was renamed to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Station.

The station consists of nine 1067 mm gauge tracks, and all tracks are non-electrified. The first track has a low landing platform with a train station built in the 1980s. The station and the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk wagon depot are also located on the station territory. Near the station is located the management of the former Sakhalin Railway. A few kilometers from the station is the Children's Railway Sakhalin.
