• Toyamako Line: Awajima ⇄ Okuda-Chugakko-Mae

Shimo-Okui Station is on the Toyama Chihō Railway Toyama-kō Line in Shimo-Okui 2-chōme, Toyama, with station number C30. It opened on 1 June 1927 as a station of the Fugan Railway. After takeovers by Toyama Electric Railway (1941) and Toyama Chihō Railway (1943), the line was nationalised on 1 June 1943 to become a Ministry of Railways station. Freight handling was rationalised: by 1970 the freight branches served Ōya Steel and Toyama Chemical, but freight ended on 15 November 1982 (down from a 1970 peak of 34,821 t to 6,295 t in 1981). With privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR West; it was withdrawn from JR West on 1 March 2006, reopened as Toyama Light Rail on 29 April 2006, and reverted to Toyama Chihō Railway on 22 February 2020.

Shimo-Okui's pre-LRT station building is now memorialised in the platform's "individualised wall" — image graphics designed by Kumiko Yamaguchi depicting the demolished JR-era station building, sponsored by Toyama Chemical, whose works are next to the stop.
