History

The route of the Tōkaidō Main Line passed through Ishiyama in 1889, but no station was built until 1 April 1903. On 25 April 1930 a derailment accident occurred at the station when an express train from Tokyo en route to Shimonoseki overturned when passing a point at high speed. Thirteen people were injured, but there were no fatalities. The station became part of the JR West network on 1 April 1987 with the privation of the Japan National Railway (JNR).

Station numbering was introduced to the station in March 2018 with Ishiyama being assigned station number JR-A27.[1][2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 24,103 passengers (boarding passengers only) in 2019,[3] making it the 26th-busiest station by traffic in the West Japan Railway Company's network.
