Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Eiheijiguchi Station opened on 11 February 1914 as Eiheiji Station on the Kyoto Electric Light Company's Echizen Electric Railway. The connecting Eiheiji Railway built a branch to Eiheijimon-Mae (1925) and a separate line from Kanazu (1929), making the station a junction. It was renamed Eiheijiguchi on 1 January 1927, and renamed Higashi-Furuichi when the Eiheiji Railway merged into Keifuku Electric Railway in December 1944. The Kanazu branch closed in 1969. Two serious collisions, in December 2000 and June 2001, led to a full line suspension; the operation was transferred to Echizen Railway on 1 February 2003, the present name was restored on 20 February 2003, and services resumed on 20 July 2003. A new station building opened on 11 April 2014.

The original 1914 station building, preserved as a registered cultural property, was used as a filming location for the 1972 Tora-san film Otoko wa Tsurai yo: Shibamata Bojō.
