The station is situated relatively close to Susukino on the Namboku Line and the Sapporo Streetcar, but there are no free transfers between the two stations.
The first retail store, a Lawson, was opened in the station on January 31, 2019, after the station's Lawson kiosk was closed in July 2015.
The station opened on 2 December 1988 coinciding with the opening of the Toho Line from Sakaemachi Station to this station. At the time of opening, Hosui-Susukino Station was the southern terminus of the Toho Line.
When the Toho Line was extended south in 1994, Fukuzumi Station became the new southern terminus of the Toho Line.
