History
Kuzuryūko Station opened on 15 December 1972 as the terminus of the Etsumi-Hoku Line, in the city of Ōno, Fukui Prefecture, when the line was extended from Katsuhara. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR West control, and in October that year the original block-built station was rebuilt in a log-cabin style. The station was closed from 18 July 2004 to June 2007 because of torrential-rain damage from the 2004 Fukui Floods. It became unstaffed on 1 April 2026, when the simplified-contract operation ended. The terminus consists of a single dead-headed side platform.
