History

Iburihashi Station opened on 20 September 1897 with the Hokuriku Main Line extension from Fukui to Komatsu, initially read "iburibashi"; the reading was officially changed to "iburihashi" on 15 December 1956. During the 1950s–1960s the station took the second-highest transport revenue of any station in Ishikawa Prefecture after Kanazawa, serving as a limited-express stop for Kaga Onsen and as the transfer to two Hokuriku Railway branch lines. After the rival Kaga-Onsen Station was consolidated as the onsen gateway around 1970, its status declined. Following JNR privatisation in April 1987 it served JR West, became unstaffed on 1 April 2009, accepted ICOCA from 15 April 2017, and transferred to IR Ishikawa Railway on 16 March 2024 with the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Tsuruga.

Notes

The station's name preserves the old verb "iburu" — meaning to sway, shake or jolt — long used in the southern Kaga region, and derives from a swaying bridge that crossed the Iburihashi River.
