History
Ide Station opened on 1929-03-26 as the Idefukushi passenger halt on the Fuji-Minobu Railway, taking its compound name from the villages of Ide on the line side and Fukushi across the Fuji River. A separate freight stop opened nearby on 1929-12-28 and the two were merged when Idefukushi was promoted to a full station on 1936-06-22. It was renamed Ide on 1938-10-01 when the line was leased to the Railway Ministry, and fully nationalised on 1941-05-01. The wooden station building was replaced in March 1994 with a small concrete shelter that survives today.

Notes
Original Idefukushi name combined the line-side hamlet of Ide with the larger Fukushi settlement across the Fuji River, reached via Fueibashi Bridge.
