History
Sabae Station opened on 15 July 1896. 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, the conventional line 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.[2]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 2,263 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
