History

Dentetsu-Izumoshi Station, the Ichibata Electric Railway counterpart to the JR Izumoshi Station, traces its origins to 29 April 1914, when the Ichibata Light Railway (today's Ichibata Electric Railway) opened Izumo-Imaichi Station at the same site as the government railway's stop, with the two railways sharing the building. Following the rename of the JNR station, the Ichibata stop took the name Izumoshi on 1 April 1957. On 1 April 1964 the Ichibata station was relocated to the Izumoshi Terminal Building and detached from the JNR station, gaining its present name Dentetsu-Izumoshi. The station was elevated on 9 December 2000, parting company with the Ichibata Department Store Izumo branch. On 1 April 2006 the parent company Ichibata Denki Tetsudō moved to a holding-company structure and its rail operations passed to the newly established Ichibata Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (Ichibata Densha).

Notes

It is located about 100 meters east of JR Izumoshi Station, and transferring between the two stations requires exiting through the ticket gates once.
