History
Fukue Station opened on 22 April 1914 on the Chōshū Railway, a private line that ran along the eastern shore of the Hibiki Sea. The railway was nationalised in 1925, and in 1933 the route was incorporated into the newly designated San'in Main Line. Freight and parcel handling ceased decades ago, and the station became unstaffed; it now consists of a single ground-level platform serving one bi-directional track. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR West. The station sits in a sparsely populated stretch of San'in Line north of Shimonoseki, recording an average of just 44 daily passengers in fiscal 2020.
