• JR Mito Line: Inada ⇄ Haguro (Ibaraki)

Fukuhara Station opened on 1 December 1890 as a Mito Railway stop in present-day Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture. It was transferred to Nippon Railway in 1892, nationalised in 1906, and incorporated into the Mito Line in 1909. Freight ended in 1970 and the station became commission-operated, then went unstaffed in 1984. It passed to JR East at the 1987 JNR breakup, and Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001. A new wooden station building modelled on the nearby Izumo Taisha Hitachi-Branch shrine entered service on 6 March 2013. The crossing siding was retired in August 2023, and the local commission ended on 1 August 2024, leaving the station fully unstaffed.

The 2013 wooden station building is designed to evoke Izumo Taisha's Hitachi branch shrine, which lies nearby and gives Fukuhara its distinctive shrine-styled façade.
