History
Isesaki Station opened on 1889-11-20 when the Ryōmō Railway's Maebashi–Kiryū line entered service. On 1910-07-13 the Tōbu Isesaki Line reached the station, giving Tōbu its own platforms with Isesaki as the terminus. After the Nippon Railway's acquisition and the 1906 nationalisation, the conventional line passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation. The Ryōmō Line was elevated on 2010-05-30, and the Tōbu side followed on 2013-10-19, completing the area's continuous grade-separation project that had broken up the city centre and caused level-crossing congestion. JR's dedicated ticket office (Midori-no-madoguchi) closed in December 2022 and was replaced by a staffed reserved-seat ticket machine.
