Notes

Two relative platforms with shelters on both sides face one another at the stop. The neighbouring Ishizugawa Station on Nankai's main line is a short walk away, and the area's name is preserved in the Ishizu-Ōjinja and Ishizu Shrines and in the cenotaph for Kitabatake Akiie, who fell here in the 1338 Battle of Ishizu.
