History

Fukuchiyama Station opened on 3 November 1904 when the government railway line between the station and Ayabe – Shin-Maizuru (now Higashi-Maizuru) opened concurrently with the Hankaku Railway line from Fukuchiyama-minamiguchi (later Fukuchi) to Fukuchiyama; the station was placed as the connection of the two routes (the government section was operated by the Hankaku Railway under lease from the same day). The Hankaku Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1907. Following the line-naming rules of 12 October 1909 the station became part of the Hankaku Line; on 25 October 1911 the Bantan Line branch from Wadayama to Fukuchiyama opened; and on 1 March 1912 the Hankaku Line section from Ayabe to Fukuchiyama and the Bantan Line section from Fukuchiyama to Wadayama and Kasumi were absorbed into the San'in Main Line, with the Hankaku Line renamed the Fukuchiyama Line. The privately operated Hokutan Railway opened on 22 September 1923 and operations there were suspended on 2 March 1971 (abolishment authorised 28 February 1974). Freight handling was abolished on 1 November 1986, when both the Fukuchiyama Line and the San'in Main Line as far as Kinosaki (now Kinosaki-Onsen) were electrified. The station passed to JR West on 1 April 1987, and the Miyafuku Railway (now the Kyoto Tango Railway) Miyafuku Line opened on 16 July 1988. JR-side elevation works began in October 1997 and were completed on 26 November 2005; the Kitakinki Tango Railway's elevated station was completed on 28 February 2009. WILLER TRAINS took over Miyafuku-line operations on 1 April 2015. Automated faregates entered service on 27 February 2021 and ICOCA was introduced on 13 March 2021; on 1 June 2022 the station took over management of the San'in Main Line stations between Funaoka and Ayabe and of all Maizuru Line stations, and on 1 October 2022 the Fukuchiyama Branch was absorbed into the Kinki Operations Headquarters as the Fukuchiyama Management Office.

Notes

Fukuchiyama is the keystone of the 'Kita-Kinki Big-X' limited-express network and was formerly the seat of JNR Fukuchiyama Railway Division (later JR West's Fukuchiyama Branch, since absorbed into the Fukuchiyama Management Office of the Kinki Operations Headquarters). The JR-West section is an elevated station with two island platforms (four tracks) and one side platform (one track) totalling three platforms and five tracks; platforms 1 and 2 are longer at 280 m as a legacy of long-distance express service. The Kyoto Tango Railway has its own elevated single-island, two-track platform north of the JR platforms, with overhead lines on both tracks as electric stock occasionally enters. The station is the only Fukuchiyama Line station in Kyoto Prefecture, and it is the terminus of the Miyafuku Line, where it carries station number F1.
