History
Shiizakai Station opened on 11 February 1914 with the Kyoto Electric Light Company's Echizen Electric Railway line between Shin-Fukui and Ichi-Arakawa (today's Echizen-Takehara). It became a Keifuku Electric Railway station in March 1942 when the operator was reorganised, and was destaffed at the end of 1971. After a head-on collision on the Echizen Main Line on 24 June 2001 the entire line was suspended. The facilities were transferred to Echizen Railway on 1 February 2003, and the station reopened on 20 July 2003 as part of the Katsuyama Eiheiji Line. The station building was added to Japan's Registered Tangible Cultural Properties on 25 July 2011.
Notes
The kana rendering of the place where the station stands is "Shihizakai", but the station's own name is written "Shiizakai".
