History
Ishikawa Pool Station is an unstaffed Kōnan Railway Ōwani Line halt in the city of Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, 3.0 kilometres from the southern terminus at Ōwani Station. It opened on 1 October 2002, ahead of the adjacent Hirosaki City Ishikawa Swimming Pool, which it was built to serve and which opened a month later on 2 November 2002. The roughly ¥25.3 million construction cost was funded by Hirosaki City. The station has a single side platform with no permanent station building, only a weather shelter. The English-language signage was changed from a Hepburn romanisation to the word "Pool" in 2020 when station numbering was introduced.

Notes
Hirosaki City paid the roughly ¥25.3 million construction cost, and the swimming pool the station was built to serve actually opened a month after the station did.
