History
Ishizu Station opened on 27 April 1919 in Kaizu, Gifu Prefecture, on the Yōrō Railway's newly built Kuwana–Yōrō line. Through a sequence of mergers the station's operator changed several times — to Ibigawa Electric in 1922, to Yōrō Electric Railway in 1928, to Ise Electric Railway in 1929, to Yōrō Electric Railway again in 1936, to Sangū Express Railway in 1940, to Kansai Express Railway in 1941 and to Kinki Nippon Railway in 1944. In December 1971 the passing loop was removed, leaving a single side platform. On 1 October 2007, Kintetsu spun off the Yōrō Line as a separate company, and the station is now operated by the new Yōrō Railway.

Notes
Although the original ground-level station building still stands at the Ōgaki end of the platform, the station is unstaffed; the small toilet block behind the building is unisex and a flush type.
