History[edit]

Kita-Sabae Station opened on 1 May 1955. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

From the start of the revised timetable 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[edit]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 477 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
