History
Inokuchi Station opened on 1 August 1937 on what is today the Hokuriku Railroad Ishikawa Line, in present-day Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture. The station has a single side platform and is unstaffed, with numbering identifying it as I14. Until the mid-Showa period the surrounding area was largely uninhabited and most limited-stop trains passed through, but suburban housing estates such as Meiko, Morishima and Hyuga grew rapidly from the 1970s onward; by around 1981 all trains stopped here. A platform extension toward the Tsurugi end, originally built to accept three-car rush-hour formations, is still visible in the station's layout today.

Notes
When the Emperor travels along the nearby road — most recently in May 1983 — temporary station staff are deployed at both Inokuchi and neighbouring Dōhōji and trains are held for a longer stop.
