History
Maruoka Station opened on 20 September 1897 as Shinjō Station (新庄駅, Shinjō-eki). It was renamed to Maruoka Station on 15 February 1902. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
On 16 March 2024, 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.[1]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 1,112 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
