Location
History
Ishibotoke Station (IY08) sits in Ishibotoke-chō, Iwakura, Aichi, on the Meitetsu Inuyama Line, 11.8 km from the line's origin at Biwajima Junction. It opened on 6 August 1912, ended freight operations in 1960, and saw its present station building completed on 30 May 1982. Semi-express service stops were added with the 27 December 2008 timetable revision, after which patronage gradually rose. The manaca IC card began service on 11 February 2011, and a new east-side entrance opened in 2020 as part of a barrier-free upgrade agreed between Meitetsu and Iwakura City.
Notes
Express and faster trains roar through Ishibotoke at around 110 km/h because the track here is nearly straight with only a gentle curve — the 6000-series excepted, every train above sub-express grade passes the station without slowing.
