Ikebe Station opened on 26 April 1918 with the inauguration of the Yamato Railway between Shin-Ōji and Tawaramoto (today’s Nishi-Tawaramoto). The line was converted to standard gauge and electrified in June 1948. The station passed to the Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway in October 1961 and then to the Kintetsu Tawaramoto Line in October 1964 through successive mergers. PiTaPa service began on 1 April 2007, and the station became fully unstaffed on 1 October 2011, with the ticket gate closed and only simple IC card readers retained. It is a single-platform, single-track halt where Shin-Ōji-bound and Nishi-Tawaramoto-bound trains share the same platform.

Ikebe carries the secondary station name "Umami Kyūryō Kōen" (Umami Hills Park), after the park of that name, which is listed among the landmarks around the station.
