History
Ichijōdani Station opened on 15 December 1960, when the Japanese National Railways Etsumi-Hoku Line section between Echizen-Hanandō and Katsuhara opened, in what is today the city of Fukui in Fukui Prefecture. The station has been unstaffed since opening. It passed to JR West at the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The line was closed after a July 2004 flood, and an interim departure signal was installed when service was partially restored between Echizen-Hanandō and this station on 11 September 2004, making it the temporary terminus of the reopened section; the signal was removed when service resumed over the rest of the line on 30 June 2007. The station was decorated in samurai-residence style in October 2022 to mark the opening of the new Fukui Prefectural Ichijōdani Asakura Family Site Museum.
Notes
The station fences are decorated with the Asakura family crest, the mitsumori-mokkō, applied during a 2022 station refurbishment marking the opening of the new Asakura Site Museum nearby.
