History
Ichioka Station opened on 1 October 1953 on the Geibi Line in what is now the city of Niimi, Okayama Prefecture, 6.5 kilometres from the line's terminus at Bitchū-Kōjiro. The station became part of JR West on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of the Japan National Railways. It is an unstaffed stop consisting of a single ground-level side platform serving one bi-directional track; an enclosed waiting room, named the Ichioka Fureai Center, was completed in 2004 to improve passenger comfort. In fiscal 2019 the station averaged about eight passengers a day.
