History

Hekikai-Furui Station opened on 1 July 1926 on the privately built Hekikai Electric Railway, which was absorbed into the Meitetsu group on 1 May 1944. The stop was closed during the wartime cutbacks of 1944 and reopened on 1 October 1952 as an unstaffed station. Today it sits on the Meitetsu Nishio Line about 5.7 km south of Shin-Anjō, with a single side platform handling local services in both directions. A driver-only ticket machine and Manaca turnstiles were added when the line's centralised station management system rolled out in the 2000s.

Notes

When neighbouring stations were renamed in 2008, Hekikai-Furui kept its prefix while Hekikai-Horiuchi and Hekikai-Sakurai dropped theirs, leaving it the lone surviving "Hekikai-" station on the line.
