• JR Yamaguchi Line: Nabekura ⇄ Nagusa

Jifuku Station is an unstaffed stop on the JR West Yamaguchi Line in the city of Yamaguchi, opened on 3 November 1918 when the Railway Bureau extended the Yamaguchi Line from Mitani to Tokusa. Freight operations were withdrawn in 1971 and baggage handling ended in 1984, when the station also became unstaffed. Operation passed to West Japan Railway Company at the privatisation of the Japan National Railways on 1 April 1987. In late July 2013 torrential rain damaged the line and the entire route was temporarily suspended; service between Jifuku and Shin-Yamaguchi resumed in early August, with the Tsuwano - Jifuku section reopening only in August 2014. The station has a single island platform serving two tracks for passing trains.

Jifuku, an unstaffed halt used by around 15 passengers a day, is one of the Yamaguchi Line stops served by the heritage steam excursion 'SL Yamaguchi-gō', which calls here only on down-direction (Tsuwano-bound) runs.
