History
Fusazaki Station opened on 18 November 1911 as a stop on the Tosan Electric Tramway, an interurban line in northern Kagawa. Following corporate changes it became a Sanuki Electric Railway station in 1942 and then a Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railway (Kotoden) station on 1 November 1943. Operations between Yakuri and Kotoden-Shido were suspended on 26 January 1945 under wartime line-rationalisation orders, and were not restored until 9 October 1949. Today the unstaffed station sits 10.6 km from the Kotoden Shido Line terminus at Kawaramachi. It has one side platform on a sharp curve, with vestiges of a second platform still visible on the north side, and is designated station S13.

Notes
The platform sits mid-curve, and tracking shots taken from the line as it skirts Shido Bay between Fusazaki and Shioya have made the spot a favourite among rail photographers.
