• JR Sanyo Main Line: Daimon (Hiroshima) ⇄ Fukuyama

Higashi-Fukuyama Station opened on 15 June 1966 as a freight depot on the JNR San'yō Main Line between Daimon and Fukuyama, in present-day Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture. Passenger services were added on 1 April 1979 at the petition of the local community, and a Midori-no-Madoguchi reservation desk operated from November 1992 until May 2021. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed jointly to JR West and JR Freight. ICOCA support began on 1 September 2007, elevators between exits and platforms came into service on 11 March 2011, and the station became unattended on 1 July 2021.

A private spur known as the Nikko Line branches from the station and runs about 3.6 kilometres to the JFE Steel West Japan works, used irregularly to ship rails manufactured at the plant.
