Katsuyama

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Katsuyama Station opened on 11 March 1914 as the terminus of what is today the Echizen Railway Katsuyama Eiheiji Line. The line passed to Keifuku Electric Railway on 2 March 1942 and lost its onward connection to Keifuku-Ōno on 13 August 1974, which made Katsuyama the line's permanent terminus. The June 2001 Echizen Main Line head-on collision triggered a system-wide closure; operations resumed under the new third-sector Echizen Railway on 19 October 2003. The 1914 station building survived all of these transitions and was designated a Registered Tangible Cultural Property on 17 February 2004. The stop sits 27.8 km from Fukui with one side and one island platform connected by a level crossing, and remains staffed. In fiscal 2015 daily boardings averaged 395.

Katsuyama's original 1914 station building is still in service — and was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property in 2004, an unusual honour for a third-sector terminal.
