History
Shimoyuino Station opened on 15 December 1960 on what is now the Etsumi-Hoku Line (Kuzuryū Line) in the city of Ōno, Fukui Prefecture. Built by Japanese National Railways, it was an unstaffed halt from the start, consisting of a single ground-level side platform serving one bi-directional track. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, which still operates it today. There is no station building and the stop remains unattended, sitting along the Kuzuryū River corridor in the Etsumi-Hoku Line's mountain section.
