History
Hakariishi Station opened on 15 December 1960 as part of the Japanese National Railways Etsumi-Hoku Line, on the section between Echizen-Hanandō and Katsuhara. The station was unattended from the start. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station came under the control of JR West. After torrential rain on 18 July 2004 suspended the entire line, services on the Miyama–Echizen-Ōno section resumed on 11 September 2004, with replacement buses calling at the Keifuku Bus Hakariishi stop until then. The station retains a single side platform with only a shelter and sits at the easternmost edge of Fukui city, marking the final Fukui-city station on the line.
