History
Isō Station opened on 15 July 1899 on the Hankaku Railway, then a private line that was nationalised in 1907; with successive line-name revisions it became part of the Fukuchiyama Line in 1912. Freight handling ended in 1980 and parcel service in 1984, and the station became unstaffed under JNR in 1985. It passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation. Limited-express "Kitakinki" stops were discontinued in March 2011, ICOCA was enabled on 13 March 2021, and the simple-trust staffing arrangement was dissolved on 1 April 2021, leaving the station fully unattended. A west exit was added in 1995, and the platform retains a single-track-through layout under Fukuchiyama management.
