Taichō no Sato Station opened on 20 March 2011 as a new stop on the Fukui Railway Fukubu Line. During construction it had carried the provisional name Maki Station. The station consists of a single ground-level side platform 40 metres long and 2 metres wide and is unattended; Seimei Station, which opened on the same day, shares the same simplified layout. Standing in Fukui City 12.2 km from the line's terminus at Takefu-shin, it is identified as F11 and bears the name "Taichō no Sato" ("Taichō's Hometown") after the eighth-century monk Taichō, who tradition holds was born nearby at the temple Taichō-ji.

The station is named after Taichō, a Buddhist monk of the Nara period, whom tradition holds was born nearby at the temple Taichō-ji, which is the direct source of the station's name.
