History
Fujikoshi Station opened on 6 December 1914 as Yamamuro Station, a request stop on the newly opened Toyama Light Railway between Toyama and Sasazu. The operator was renamed Toyama Railway in 1915, and the station was upgraded to a full station in 1917. After the parent railway dissolved in 1933 the line passed to Funan Railway, then to Toyama Electric Railway in 1941, before merging into Toyama Chihō Railway in 1943; the Inarimachi–Minami-Toyama section was electrified that June. A new station building opened on 10 April 1958, and the station was renamed Fujikoshi two days later after the adjacent industrial works. Freight ended in 1972, and a 2005 road-widening project relocated platform and track and added barrier-free access.

Notes
The 1958 renaming from Yamamuro tied the station to the adjacent Nachi-Fujikoshi industrial works, making it one of the few Japanese stations named after a private company.
