History
Nagato-Furuichi Station opened on 13 October 1929 as the terminus of the Japan Government Railways Mine Line when the line was extended west from Kiwado. By 7 December 1930 the line had pushed further to Agawa, making the station an intermediate stop. The relevant Mine Line segment was absorbed into the San'in Main Line on 24 February 1933, and freight operations ceased on 1 June 1961. With the 1 April 1987 break-up and privatisation of Japanese National Railways, the station passed to JR West. The station building was renovated in 2001 into a community facility called "Fureai Plaza Hamayu Hioki".
