Location

History

Mikuni-Jinjya Station opened on 1 July 1930 as a stop on the Mikuni Awara Electric Railway between Mizui and Densha-Mikuni (today Mikuni), in what is now Sakai, Fukui Prefecture. Through the 1942 merger of Mikuni Awara Electric Railway with Keifuku Electric Railway, the station became part of the Keifuku Mikuni Awara Line. Station staffing was withdrawn in June 1975. Operations were suspended after a head-on collision on the Keifuku Echizen Main Line on 24 June 2001. The station reopened on 10 August 2003 as part of the Echizen Railway, and from 15 March 2025 it was added to the line's rapid-service stops, both to improve convenience and to shorten gate-down time at the nearby Kakuzen level crossing.

Notes

From March 2025 the station became a rapid-service stop, partly to shorten gate-down times at the nearby Kakuzen level crossing.
