History
Ukimafunado Station opened on 30 September 1985 as a Japanese National Railways station on the newly built Saikyō Line. The stop passed to East Japan Railway Company with the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, and Suica service began on 18 November 2001. The station's name was coined by combining the Ukima district of Kita Ward with the Funado district of Itabashi Ward, on whose boundary the elevated platform sits. Under JR East's "Tokyo 23 Districts" fare zone, this stop marks the northern limit of the zone on the Saikyō Line.

Notes
Every August the platform fills with crowds for the Itabashi Fireworks Festival, prompting JR East to run a special timetable from 16:00 that converts all rapid services on the Saikyō Line to local stops.
