History
Shin-Fukae Station opened on 10 September 1969 as the eastern terminus of the Osaka Municipal Subway Line 5 (now the Sennichimae Line) when the route was extended from Imazato. On 2 December 1981 the line was extended further east to Minami-Tatsumi, making Shin-Fukae a through-station. Platform-edge doors began service on 28 June 2014, and the station passed to Osaka Metro on 1 April 2018 when the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau was corporatised. The underground station has an island platform serving two tracks on the second basement level, with ticket gates at both east and west ends.

Notes
The platform and concourse walls are decorated with depictions of sedge-straw conical hats — sugegasa — a nod to Fukae's historical role as a centre of sedge-hat making for Edo-period travellers on the Nara highway.
