History
Fukusaki Station opened on 26 July 1894 when the Bantan Railway opened its line between Himeji and Teramae, in what is now the town of Fukusaki, Hyōgo Prefecture. Operations passed to the Sanyō Railway on 1 June 1903 and then to the nationalised government railway on 1 December 1906, with the line designated as the Bantan Line in 1909. The current station building dates from a 1936 rebuild. Freight handling ended on 1 April 1973 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. JR West succeeded JNR at privatisation on 1 April 1987. From 16 March 1996 Hamakaze limited-express services began calling here, and ICOCA IC ticketing became available on 26 March 2016 via a simple gate. The Midori-no-Madoguchi staffed ticket office closed in February 2019 and was replaced by a Midori-no-Kenbaiki Plus terminal.
Notes
Although Fukusaki's town centre lies across the Ichikawa River from the station, every Hamakaze limited express stops here.
