History
Fushiya Station opened on 26 June 1938 with the Kansai Express Electric Railway's Kuwana – Kanky Nagoya (now Kintetsu Nagoya) section. Through a series of wartime corporate mergers the station passed in turn to Sangū Express Electric Railway in 1940, to Kansai Express Railway in 1941, and on 1 June 1944 to Kintetsu (Kinki Nippon Railway), which still operates it as part of the Nagoya Line. The station was made fully automatic-fare-gate on 20 September 2006 and began accepting PiTaPa IC tickets on 1 April 2007. Grade-separation work to elevate the tracks began in May 2008; up trains switched to a temporary platform in June 2011, down trains in May 2013, and the down line was raised onto the new elevated structure on 7 November 2015, followed by the up line on 23 September 2017. Station counter operations were outsourced to a FamilyMart inside the station on 3 April 2018. The station carries Nagoya-Line code E06.

Notes
Although only 2- or 3-car trains stop at Fushiya, the platforms were built to accommodate up to 4-car trains; the elevated station is unattended in the operational sense, with ticketing functions handed over to an in-station FamilyMart convenience store since April 2018.
