History


The route of the Tōkaidō Main Line passed through Ishiyama in 1889, but no station was built until April 1, 1903.

Thirteen people were injured, but there were no fatalities. The station became part of the JR West network on April 1, 1987 with the privation of the Japan National Railway (JNR).
