History
Inabafunaoka Station opened on 20 January 1930, when the Japanese Government Railways opened the Wakasa Line between Kōge and Hayabusa. Station operations were contracted out to Nihon Kōtsū Kankōsha in April 1963, freight operations were discontinued on 1 October 1974, and parcel handling ended on 1 February 1984. The station became unattended on 14 March 1985. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed briefly to JR West, before transferring on 14 October 1987 to the third-sector Wakasa Railway when the line was converted. The 1929-built wooden station building and platform were registered as Tangible Cultural Properties on 8 July 2008.
Notes
Inabafunaoka has a single side platform on the right-hand side of the track facing Wakasa, with a wooden station building on the south side. Both the station building and the platform were built in 1929 — the year before the line opened — and are listed as Tangible Cultural Properties. A garment-sewing workshop occupies the station office, doubling as a simple-commission ticket window; the single unisex flush toilet is outside the ticket barrier.
