History
The route of the Tōkaidō Main Line passed through Ishiyama in 1889, but no station was built until April 1, 1903. On April 25, 1930 a derailment accident occurred at the station when an express train from Tokyo en route to Shimonoseki overturned when passing a point at high speed. 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).
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 24,103 passengers (boarding passengers only) in 2019,[1] making it the 26th-busiest station by traffic in the West Japan Railway Company's network.
