The JR West and Hapi-Line Fukui portion of the station consists of two island platforms and five tracks located in the above-ground portion of Fukui Station. The Shinkansen platform consists of a single island platform serving 2 tracks.

On the east side of the station, Echizen Railway has two tracks serving one temporary island platform located atop the future Shinkansen viaduct until construction of its own permanent elevated station is completed.
