History
Fusamoto Station opened on 25 August 1933 as the temporary terminus of the Railway Ministry's Kihara Line, extended on from Otaki. The line reached its present terminus at Kazusa-Nakano on 26 August 1934 and Fusamoto became an intermediate stop. Freight handling ceased in September 1969 and the station has been unstaffed since 10 May 1974. It passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, then to the third-sector Isumi Railway when the Kihara Line was reorganised as the Isumi Line on 24 March 1988. The current station building dates from a March 1992 rebuild.

Notes
A peculiar bend in the rails at the Nishihata end of the platform marks the lost junction of the opening-era run-around loop that once let steam locomotives change ends here.
