History
Kuzuryūko Station opened on 15 December 1972 as the terminus of the Etsumi-Hoku Line, in the city of Ōno, Fukui Prefecture, when the line was extended from Kadohara. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR West control, and in October that year the original block-built station was rebuilt in a log-cabin style. Torrential rain from the July 2004 Fukui Floods suspended service at the station on 18 July 2004, with trains running again as far as Echizen-Ōno two days later; through service over the whole line was not restored until 30 June 2007. It became unstaffed on 1 April 2026, when the simplified-contract operation ended. The terminus consists of a single dead-headed side platform.
Notes
The station is the easternmost and highest-elevation JR station in Fukui Prefecture.
