It became an intermediate stop with the further extension to Higashiyama-Kōen on 1 April 1963. For many years the station was collocated with the Ikeshita Yard, the subway's first full-scale depot, opened together with the station in June 1960 and closed in April 1969 when the newly opened Fujigaoka Works took over its role. Step-free access at the east-side gate was added in October 1997 with the installation of an elevator. manaca acceptance began on 11 February 2011, and platform-edge gates entered service on 7 December 2015. The station is built integrally with the Ikeshita Bus Terminal, the Ikeshita Building (Chikashin Ikeshita) and the municipal Ikeshita-sō public-housing block.

Ikeshita's eastern curve, where the tunnel transitions from beneath Nishiki-dōri to Hirokōji-dōri, was constructed as the very first single-track shield tunnel on the Nagoya Municipal Subway, and remains the only such section on the Higashiyama Line.
