Ichibu Station opened on 28 December 1926 on the Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway, which was absorbed by Kintetsu in 1964 to become the Ikoma Line. The ground-level station sits 10.1 km from the line's starting point at Oji and has two opposed side platforms joined by a level crossing; weekday-rush-only ticket gates supplement the main station building. The station is unattended. The placename "Ichibu" appears in an 8th-century record as a residence of Prince Arima in the 7th century; the modern station serves the Satsukidai residential district and Nara Prefectural Ikoma High School.
