History
Shin-Fujiwara Station opened on 28 December 1919 as Fujiwara Station on the Shimotsuke Light Railway. On 6 June 1921 the operator was renamed the Shimotsuke Electric Railway, and on 19 March 1922 the station was relocated to its current site and renamed Shin-Fujiwara, coinciding with the line's electrification. The Tobu Railway absorbed the Shimotsuke Electric Railway on 1 May 1943, taking the station with it. When the Yagan Railway's Aizu Kinugawa Line opened on 9 October 1986 the station became a junction and its management transferred from Tobu to Yagan. Station numbering was introduced as TN-57 in March 2012 and renumbered TN-58 ahead of Tobu World Square's opening in April 2017.
