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

Ushikubo Station opened on 15 July 1897 on the Toyokawa Railway, connecting Toyohashi with Toyokawa in Aichi Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 August 1943 and became part of the Iida Line. Because of growing passenger numbers tied to the nearby Toyokawa Naval Arsenal, the building was rebuilt in 1943, and the new structure survived the Toyokawa Air Raid of 1945. Scheduled freight ended on 1 December 1971. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central. TOICA service began on 13 March 2010, and the Iida Line received station numbering in March 2018, with Ushikubo designated CD04. On 18 March 2023 the wartime building was replaced and the station became unstaffed.

The station building that operated from 1943 until 2023 was originally built to handle the surge of workers commuting to the nearby Toyokawa Naval Arsenal, and it survived the Toyokawa Air Raid.
