History
Ishiharamachi Station opened on 1 April 1915 on the private Kokura Railway, and was originally read "Ishiwaramachi". On 1 May 1943 the line was bought out under wartime nationalisation and the station became part of the Soeda Line (now the Hitahikosan Line), simultaneously having its reading changed to "Ishiharamachi". The station was unstaffed from 15 February 1984 and passed to JR Kyushu and JR Freight at the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation. Freight train operations were withdrawn on 16 March 1996, and JR Freight's own station here was abolished on 31 March 1999; a Mitsubishi Materials siding had carried limestone and cement clinker from the Higashidani works to Kurosaki. The station was unstaffed again from 14 March 2015.
Notes
The current station building dates from the 1915 opening, and a Mitsubishi Materials industrial siding once branched off the running tracks between Ishiharamachi and Yobuno to ship limestone and cement clinker from the Higashidani works (now the Higashidani mine) to Kurosaki.
