Funatsu Station opened on 19 December 1934 on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Kisei East Line. From 1941 to 1958, the Osugidani Forest Railway (大杉谷森林鉄道, Osugidami Shinrin Testdo) also operated to this station. The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War 2, and the line was extended to Kuki Station by 12 January 1957. The line was renamed the Kisei Main Line on 15 July 1959. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987. The station has been unattended since 31 March 2005.
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 68 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[1]
