History
Fudai Station opened on 20 July 1975 on the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Kuji Line and was transferred to the third-sector Sanriku Railway on 1 April 1984 when the Kuji Line was privatised, becoming a stop on the new Kita-Rias Line. The 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami suspended services along the route; operations between Rikuchū-Noda and Tanohata resumed on 1 April 2012. On 23 March 2019 the Sanriku Railway absorbed the JR East Yamada Line section between Miyako and Kamaishi and consolidated its Kita-Rias, Minami-Rias and former Yamada segments into a single Rias Line, making Fudai an intermediate stop on that through route.

Notes
The station's former waiting room and souvenir corner were converted into an expanded shop, and the facility is registered as the "Ao no Kuni Fudai" roadside station.
