Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Ishiyamadera Station opened on 4 June 1914 on the Ōtsu Electric Railway when service was extended to it from the earlier Hotarudani Station (opened 15 February 1914 as a terminus). Through corporate reorganisations the station passed to Lake Biwa Railway-and-Ship Company on 21 January 1927, to Keihan Electric Railway on 11 April 1929, to Keihanshin Kyūkō Electric Railway (today's Hankyū) on 1 October 1943, and back to Keihan Electric Railway following the demerger on 1 December 1949. On 20 August 1937 the older Hotarudani Station was abolished and consolidated into Ishiyamadera. The station was renamed Ishiyama-Hotarudani on 1 October 1950 but reverted to Ishiyamadera on 1 April 1953. The current station building dates from 1991. From 4 October 2003 the all-day staffing was reduced to part-time. The station carries number OT01 and is the southern terminus of the Keihan Ishiyama Sakamoto Line.

Ishiyamadera Station uses a head-end three-platform, two-track layout where each track is sandwiched by platforms (the only example on Keihan apart from the cable line): the outer platforms are for alighting only and the inner platforms for boarding, except at track 2, which normally uses its platform for both boarding and alighting and only switches to the outer alighting-only platform at busy times. The station averaged 1,236 daily boarding passengers in fiscal 2018.
