• Ibusuki Makurazaki Line: Mizunarikawa ⇄ Goryo (Kagoshima)

Ishikaki Station was opened on 31 October 1963 in what is now the Beppu district of Eichō in Minamikyūshū, as one of the new stops added the day the JNR Ibusuki Line was extended to Makurazaki and the renamed Ibusuki Makurazaki Line came into service. From the outset it operated as an unstaffed passenger-only station with a single side platform, and it received only a passenger shelter rather than a station building. Control of the stop passed to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The station icon on the platform sign depicts a tea picker, a nod to the surrounding Eichō tea-growing district.
