History

Bizen-Ichinomiya Station opened on 15 November 1904 as Ichinomiya Station with the inauguration of the Chūgoku Railway Kibi Line. It was renamed Bizen-Ichinomiya on 1 February 1916. The Chūgoku Railway's rail operations were nationalised on 1 June 1944, bringing the station into Japanese National Railways as part of the Kibi Line, and it passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation. Freight handling ended in March 1962 and parcels in November 1971; the station was made unstaffed in April 2004. The original wooden building was demolished in October 2008 and the second-generation station building entered service in December 2008. The station has a single side platform on a ground-level alignment; the former passing loop has been removed.

Notes

The platform holds a stone sarcophagus lid moved from the Iwafune Kofun on the Kibi-Nakayama hill south of the station.
