History

Fussa Station opened on 19 November 1894 with the inauguration of the Ōme Railway between Tachikawa and Ōme, handling both passengers and freight from day one. A 1.93-kilometre freight branch toward a riverside loading yard ran from 1927 until 1959. The Ōme Electric Railway was nationalised on 1 April 1944 as a wartime acquisition, and the line was rebuilt with a bridge-over station in November 1986. Operation passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Platform extensions completed in October 2024 allow twelve-car operation on the Ōme Line; rapid trains with double-decker Green Cars began running the following day.

Notes

On 19 February 1952 four runaway freight cars from Ozaku Station rolled all the way to Fussa and rammed wagons standing on a siding here — an incident remembered locally as the "Ōme jiken."
