Services
All Fukubu Line trains serve Shiyakushomae Station. Trains heading from Takefu-Shin to Fukui-Ekimae switch directions at this station as if at a switchback; other trains terminate at Tawaramachi. There is no station building, but rather two raised platforms in the median of Phoenix-dōri (Prefectural Route 30) from which customers board and disembark. During peak periods a conductor is stationed on the platform to collect fares, but at other times the station is unstaffed.
