History

Shimo-Fukaya Station opened on 1 August 1921 on the original Yōrō Railway in present-day Kuwana, Mie Prefecture. The line passed through a chain of corporate owners: absorbed by Ibigawa Denki (a forerunner of Ibiden) in 1922, transferred to Yōrō Denki Tetsudō in 1928, the Ise Electric Railway in 1929, on to the newly formed Yōrō Dentetsu in 1936, then to Sangū Express Electric Railway in 1940, the Kansai Express Railway in 1941, and finally Kintetsu in 1944 following its merger with the Nankai Railway. Freight handling ended in April 1971, and on 1 October 2007 Kintetsu spun the line off into the present-day Yōrō Railway. The station has an island platform and remains staffed with a ticket window.

Notes

It is a ground-level station with an island platform serving two tracks, operated as a staffed station with a ticket window that sells various types of tickets.
