• Hapi Line Fukui: Imajo

Minami-Imajō Station opened on 10 June 1962 in the town of Minamiechizen, Fukui Prefecture, the day the JNR Hokuriku Main Line between Tsuruga and Imajō was switched to a new alignment through the Hokuriku Tunnel. Built as an unstaffed station on the new alignment, it stands immediately at the tunnel's Imajō-side portal and was conceived as the substitute stop for the abandoned Ōgiri Station on the former route via Sugizu. The station passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation and gained ICOCA service on 15 September 2018. On 16 March 2024 the line was transferred to Hapi-Line Fukui when the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Kanazawa to Tsuruga opened.

Locals first asked for the station to be named after the old place-name Kaeru, proposing Kaeruyama or Kahiruyama, but "Minami-Imajō" was chosen instead, and the following year, 1963, the official district name was itself changed from Kaeru to Minami-Imajō.
