History

Awa-Fukui Station opened on 27 June 1937 as the temporary southern terminus of the Mugi Line when Japanese Government Railways extended the route from Kuwano. The station became a through-station on 14 December 1939 when the line was further extended to Hiwasa. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, operation passed to JR Shikoku, which has assigned the station number M17. The station consists of a single side platform on a one-track section, served by all trains on the line. The station building is unstaffed and functions only as a waiting room.

Notes

Although National Route 55 runs directly past the station, the village it was built to serve sits roughly 2 km to the north, leaving Awa-Fukui surrounded by sparse mountainous countryside.
