Fukugawa Station (福川駅, Fukugawa-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Shūnan, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).[1]

Fukugawa Station is served by the JR West Sanyō Main Line, and is located 421.9 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kobe.

The station consists of two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. The station is unattended.

Fukugawa Station was opened on 17 March 1897 as a station on the San'yo Railway when the line was extended from Tokuyama to Hōfu Station. The San'yo Railway was railway nationalized in 1906 and the line renamed the San'yō Main Line in 1909. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).
