Location

History

Fukaya Station opened on 21 October 1883 on what is now the Takasaki Line and was carried over to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. The current station building, completed in August 1996, was modelled on the red-brick Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station, using bricks from the Japan Brick Company — the same supplier whose bricks went into the original Tokyo Station façade. The station has one side platform and one island platform serving three tracks, linked by a footbridge, with an elevated concourse and a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office.

Notes

The 1996 station building was modelled on Tokyo Station, and its bricks were produced by the Japan Brick Company — the same firm whose bricks were used on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station.
