History
Fuchū-Usaka Station opened on 15 March 2008 on the Takayama Main Line in Toyama, originally as a temporary stop set up for a three-year term running to spring 2011 under the city's JR Takayama Line revitalisation experiment, with Toyama paying the full cost of the platform and signalling. Use met the 140-rider threshold needed for permanent status, and JR West applied for full station designation on 1 November 2013; approval was granted on 13 November 2013, and the station was promoted to permanent status on 15 March 2014. Its name combines the former town name Fuchū with the old village name Usaka.
Notes
Toyama paid the full cost of building the station under the JR Takayama Line revitalisation experiment, opening it as a temporary stop limited to three years.
