Location
History
Fujisaka Station opened on 1 October 1979 between the existing Nagao and Tsuda stations on the Japanese National Railways Katamachi Line, added in response to local petitioning when the surrounding section was double-tracked. The entire 200-million-yen cost was borne by the local community — Hirakata City covered 100 million yen, with the other half raised by selling off a community-owned reservoir in the Fujisaka district. Operations passed to JR West at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and the line picked up the Gakkentoshi Line nickname in March 1988. The station became remote-staffed via intercom on 1 July 2025, and station numbering JR-H28 was introduced in March 2018.
Notes
Half of the station's 200-million-yen construction cost was raised by selling a reservoir jointly owned by the surrounding Fujisaka district — in effect, a station part-funded by selling off the neighbourhood pond.
