• Etsumi North Line: Kita-Ono ⇄ Echizen-Tano

Echizen-Ōno Station opened on 15 December 1960, when the Japanese National Railways Etsumi-Hoku Line opened between Echizen-Hanandō and Kadohara, handling both passengers and freight from the start. Because an Ōno Station already existed in Fukushima Prefecture, the new station was prefixed "Echizen." An imperial train ran from the station to Fukui on 2 October 1968, when the Emperor and Empress visited the prefecture for the National Athletic Meet. Freight operations ended on 15 November 1982 and parcel handling on 14 March 1985. The station passed to JR West on 1 April 1987. After torrential rain on 18 July 2004, the Echizen-Ōno–Kuzuryūko section resumed on 20 July 2004 and the Miyama–Echizen-Ōno segment on 11 September 2004, with full restoration on 30 June 2007. The Midori no Madoguchi ticket office closed on 11 March 2022.

The Echizen-Ōno–Kuzuryūko section uses staff-token block working, the only such section operated by JR West and one of very few remaining on JR.
