History

edit

Takefu Station opened on 15 July 1896.[3] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.[3]

Effective the 16 March 2024 timetable revision, this station was transferred to the Hapi-Line Fukui Line due to the opening of the western extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.[4]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 2,344 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[5]
