History
Funahirayama Station traces its origins to about 1947, when the JNR Yamaguchi Line added a temporary halt between Tokusa and Tsuwano. It was upgraded to a provisional station on 1 February 1954 and to a full station on 1 April 1961, serving diesel-railcar passengers only as an unstaffed stop. The 1 April 1987 privatisation brought it under JR West. Heavy-rainfall damage on 28 July 2013 closed the Miyano–Masuda section through the station; the line was reopened in stages, with the Jifuku–Tsuwano segment that includes Funahirayama not restored until 23 August 2014. The northernmost stop in Yamaguchi Prefecture on the line, it has a single side platform and only a small waiting shelter.
Notes
Funahirayama is the northernmost station in Yamaguchi Prefecture on the Yamaguchi Line; the next stop, Tsuwano, is already across the border in Shimane Prefecture.
