Location
History
Nishiharue Heartopia Station opened on 30 December 1928 as Nishiharue Station on what is now the Mikuni Awara Line. Through twentieth-century mergers the line passed to Keifuku Electric Railway, which suspended all operations from 25 June 2001 in the wake of a train collision on its Echizen Main Line. The station reopened on 20 July 2003 under the successor operator Echizen Railway. It was renamed Nishiharue Heartopia on 25 March 2017. The unattended station consists of two side platforms linked by a level crossing, with Fukui Airport some 1.5 km to the east.
Notes
Despite the station's name, the Heartpia Harue community facility it references is actually closer to the neighbouring station, Tarōmaru Angelland — a fact that on-board announcements explicitly point out.
