• JR Hakubi Line: Niimi ⇄ Ikura

Ishiga Station opened on 25 October 1928 when the Ministry of Railways extended the Hakubi Line from Bitchū-Kawamo to Ashidachi, although train services over the Bitchū-Kawamo–Ishiga–Kami-Iwami section did not begin until 25 November of that year. The Shōwa Emperor's imperial post-war tour train made a stop on 11 December 1947. Freight handling ended in 1982, parcel service in 1984, and the station was made unstaffed on 31 March 1984. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 it became part of JR West. ICOCA acceptance began on 13 March 2021. Simple-agency ticket sales ran from the on-site taxi office until 30 September 2022, after which the station became unstaffed at all times.

Ishiga's middle track, platform 2, takes no scheduled passenger trains, but its signals remain in service and trains sometimes turn back there in heavy rain. The platform numbering was reversed at the timetable revision of 16 March 2019: it had run from the down platform beside the station building, and now starts from the up platform.
