History
Fukado Station is an unstaffed single-platform stop on the Nagaragawa Railway Etsumi-Nan Line at Sando, Minami-chō, Gujō City, Gifu Prefecture, with station number 23. It opened on 6 May 1928 as the temporary terminus of the Railway Ministry's Etsumi-Nan Line when the section from Mino-Shimokawa (now Ōya Station) to here entered service, handling both passengers and freight. The line was extended to Gujō-Hachiman on 8 December 1929. Freight handling ended on 10 October 1959, and parcel handling ceased on 1 December 1974 along with the station being made unstaffed. The station transferred to the third-sector Nagaragawa Railway on 11 December 1986 when the Etsumi-Nan Line was converted. The wooden station building is original; a café called "Station Fukado" operated inside it from 1990 until 30 September 2013.
