History

Ishikura Station opened on 3 November 1903 as a general station of the private Hokkaido Railway when its Mori–Nepu section was completed. It passed to the state railway with nationalisation in July 1907 and was absorbed into the Hakodate Main Line on 12 October 1909. A wartime new line between this station and Nodaoi opened on 20 July 1945, carrying up-direction trains while the original line stayed in use for down-direction; the down-direction trains joined the new alignment on 10 December 1958, and the Ishiya–Ishikura section was double-tracked on 11 December 1973. Freight handling ended in August 1960, parcels in February 1984, and the station was unstaffed from 1 November 1986. JR Hokkaido inherited the station in 1987 and rebuilt the building in November 1988; station numbers followed on 1 October 2007.

Notes

On 28 October 1966 a truck fell from parallel National Route 5 down into the station yard and was hit by the through Limited Express Ōtori, injuring three people.
