History
Echizen-Tōgō Station opened on 15 December 1960 with the Japanese National Railways Etsumi-Hoku Line's extension between Echizen-Hanandō and Katsuhara, in what is today the city of Fukui in Fukui Prefecture. The station was demoted to unstaffed status on 1 April 1984 and passed to JR West at the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The Etsumi-Hoku Line was closed by flood damage from 18 July 2004 until 30 June 2007, and the station served as a temporary bus-transfer point during the partial restoration. The station building was refurbished in November 2022. It now consists of a single ground-level platform (単式ホーム1面1線); the second track was repurposed as a maintenance siding after privatisation.
