History
Fuchigaki Station opened on 29 March 1960 as the Maizuru Line's most recent addition, set between Ayabe and Umezako, 5.3 km from the line's terminus at Ayabe in what is now Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture. It was originally an unstaffed station serving diesel-railcar passenger traffic only. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, becoming part of the Maizuru Railway Office from 1 April 1991. After the office was dissolved on 1 July 2006 the station was managed from Nishi-Maizuru, later from Ayabe, and from 1 June 2022 from Fukuchiyama. The single side platform with no station building remains unattended, and the station does not even have a ticket machine.
