History
Kitago Station opened on 23 February 1924 as Nishi-Takefu Station on the newly inaugurated Fukubu Electric Railway, in what is now the city of Echizen, Fukui Prefecture. Through corporate merger it became a Fukui Railway Fukubu Line station on 1 August 1945. Freight handling on the line ended on 3 October 1979, and the station was made unstaffed on 17 May 1990. It was renamed Kitago Station on 25 March 2010. The original wooden station building was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property in December 2013, and the adjacent rail workshop received the same designation in November 2015. A railway museum opened on the platforms on 19 March 2023.
Notes
The 1924 wooden station building and the adjoining train workshop are both Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan.
