Morita Station is served by the Hapi-Line Fukui Line, and is located 59.9 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Tsuruga.

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

The station was destroyed by the 1948 Fukui earthquake, and was reopened the following year.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

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.
