History

Fujishiro Station opened on 25 December 1896 as a Nippon Railway stop, becoming part of the state network after Nippon Railway's nationalisation on 1 November 1906 and joining the Jōban Line at the 1909 line-naming. The station's original wooden depot was the last surviving such building south of Tsuchiura before the present overhead structure was completed on 2 March 1987, when a south entrance was added. JR East took over the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. Suica use began on 18 November 2001, and the Midori no Madoguchi closed on 14 April 2019 ahead of station operation being contracted out on 1 July 2019. From the March 2015 timetable, all limited-express services began bypassing the stop.

Notes

Fujishiro sits just north of a Jōban Line dead section: trains crossing here switch between DC south and AC north, so DC-only commuter stock cannot operate beyond this station.
