• Etsumi North Line: Echizen-Omiya ⇄ Miyama

Echizen-Yakushi Station opened on 15 December 1960 as part of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Etsumi-Hoku Line, on the section between Echizen-Hanandō and Katsuhara. It opened as an unstaffed station and stands in Yakushi-chō in the city of Fukui. On 1 April 1987, with the privatisation of JNR, the station came under the control of JR West. Following heavy flood damage to the line in July 2004, services on the Miyama–Echizen-Ōno segment were suspended until 11 September 2004. The station remains a single side-platform stop today, with no station building beyond a small platform shelter.
