History
Sufu Station opened on 10 March 1922 when the San'in Main Line was extended westwards from Hamada Station; the line reached Miho-Misumi on 1 September the same year. Freight operations were discontinued on 1 October 1974. The station was inherited by JR West on 1 April 1987 at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The unattended station has a single side platform serving a bi-directional track; the former station office building is now used by a local social-welfare corporation, and only local trains call. Sufu lies on the Sea-of-Japan coast in Hamada, Shimane Prefecture.

Notes
The former ticket office at Sufu is no longer used by the railway — it has been re-purposed as the office of a local social welfare corporation.
