History
Harue Station opened on 1 May 1926 as a general station of the state-run Hokuriku Main Line, between Morita and Maruoka in what is now Sakai, Fukui. Its wooden building was destroyed by the 1948 Fukui earthquake and rebuilt the following January. Freight handling ended in 1961 and parcel handling in 1984. The station passed to JR West at the 1987 JNR breakup, gained ICOCA acceptance on 15 September 2018, and became unstaffed on 21 December 2021. On 16 March 2024, when the Hokuriku Shinkansen was extended from Kanazawa to Tsuruga, the parallel conventional line was transferred to third-sector operator Hapi-Line Fukui, of which Harue is now a stop.
Notes
The wooden station building rebuilt after the 1948 Fukui earthquake still stands today.
