History
Fukuno Station opened on 1 July 1952 as Gujō-Fukuno (郡上福野) Station on the Japanese National Railways' Etsumi-Nan Line, as a passenger-only unstaffed infill station, in what is now the city of Gujō, Gifu Prefecture. When the Etsumi-Nan Line was transferred from JNR to the third-sector Nagaragawa Railway on 11 December 1986, it was renamed simply Fukuno (福野). It is station 20 on the line. On 21 July 2003 a locomotive hauling a trolley train derailed one wheel between Minami-Kariyasu and Fukuno. The stop is a single side platform with no station building or toilet; a waiting room sits near the centre of the platform.

Notes
Like Akaike, Yasaka and several others, Fukuno was one of the 1952 cluster of infill halts that JNR added to fill in gaps between the prewar stations on the Etsumi-Nan Line up the Nagara River valley.
