History
Ishikura Station opened on 1903-11-03 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 1909-10-12. A wartime new line between this station and Noda-oi (today's Noda-i) opened on 1945-07-20, carrying up-direction trains while the original line stayed in use for down-direction; the down-direction trains joined the new alignment on 1958-12-10, and the Ishiya–Ishikura section was double-tracked on 1973-12-11. Freight handling ended in August 1960, parcels in February 1984, and the station was unstaffed from 1986-11-01. JR Hokkaido inherited the station in 1987 and rebuilt the building in November 1988; station numbers followed on 2007-10-01.
