Initially, only gasoline-powered locomotives serviced the station.

It reopened on June 10, 1946 as a station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR).

With the division and privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987, the station was acquired by the East Japan Railway Company.

Higashi-Fusamoto Station is served by the Isumi Line and is 19.6 kilometers from the eastern terminus of the Izumi Line at Ōhara Station.

The station has a simple side platform serving bidirectional traffic, with a three-sided rain shelter built onto the platform.
