Fukuiguchi

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Fukuiguchi Station opened on 11 February 1914 as Shihiguchi Station on the Kyoto Dento Echizen Electric Railway, and was renamed Fukuiguchi on 1 September of that year. A second line, the Mikuni Awara Electric Railway, opened from Fukuiguchi to today's Awara-Yunomachi on 30 December 1928, making this the junction point that the two lines still share. Both routes were folded into Keifuku Electric Railway in 1942. After the June 2001 head-on collision shut the system, Echizen Railway took over operations on 1 February 2003 and the station reopened on 20 July of that year. The stop moved to temporary facilities on 27 September 2015 during a Fukui-area elevation project and reopened as a fully elevated three-track island-platform station on 24 June 2018.

The station opened in February 1914 as Shihiguchi and took the name Fukuiguchi barely seven months later, on 1 September 1914. It is the site of Echizen Railway's depot: in Keifuku days the inspection shed and stabling sidings lay along the Katsuyama Eiheiji Line, but the elevation works around Fukui Station led to a new inspection shed and head-office building being put up between the Hokuriku Main Line and the Mikuni Awara Line, in use since 29 March 2009.
