History
Fukutawara Station opened on 1 March 1938 as a Japanese Government Railways stop on the Tōgane Line, between Ōami and Narutō in what is today the city of Tōgane, Chiba Prefecture. The station was closed from 10 August 1941 to 1 October 1954, when service resumed. Operation passed from Japanese National Railways to JR East with the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. From 18 November 2001 the station accepted the Suica IC card. The stop, located 3.8 km from the line's terminus at Ōami, consists of a single short side platform serving bidirectional traffic with no station building; the platform handles trains of up to six cars and the station is unattended.

Notes
After a storm broke the platform shelter's roof glass in August 2016, the rebuilt shelter was hidden behind temporary hoardings for several months until repairs finished on 27 February 2017.
