History
Echizen-Tōgō Station opened on 15 December 1960 with the Japanese National Railways Etsumi-Hoku Line's opening between Echizen-Hanandō and Kadohara, in what is today the city of Fukui in Fukui Prefecture. The station was demoted to unstaffed status on 1 April 1984 and passed to JR West at the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The Etsumi-Hoku Line was closed by flood damage from 18 July 2004 until 30 June 2007, and during the partial restoration the station served as the transfer point between trains and replacement buses, as the buses could not serve neighbouring Ichijōdani Station. The station building was refurbished in November 2022. It now consists of a single ground-level side platform serving one track; it was originally an island platform with two tracks, and the station-building-side track was repurposed as a maintenance-vehicle siding after privatisation.
