History
Ikezuki Station opened on 19 April 1914 on the Rikuu East Line in what is now the city of Ōsaki, Miyagi, 32.4 kilometres from the line's terminus at Kogota. Less-than-carload freight and parcel handling ended on 30 November 1971, when the station became unstaffed under a simplified-contracted arrangement, and the introduction of CTC operation on 7 March 1983 left the station fully unstaffed. It transferred to East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The station retains an island platform with two tracks connected to the building by a level crossing, alongside the remnants of a former freight platform.
