• IR Ishikawa Railway Line: Awazu (Ishikawa) ⇄ Kagaonsen

Iburihashi Station opened on 20 September 1897 with the Hokuriku Main Line extension from Fukui to Komatsu, initially read "iburibashi"; the reading was officially changed to "iburihashi" on 15 December 1956. During the 1950s–1960s the station was Ishikawa Prefecture's second-busiest after Kanazawa, serving as a limited-express stop for Kaga Onsen and as the transfer to two Hokuriku Railway branch lines. After the rival Kaga-Onsen Station was consolidated as the onsen gateway around 1970, its status declined. Following JNR privatisation in April 1987 it served JR West, became unstaffed on 1 April 2009, accepted ICOCA from 15 April 2017, and transferred to IR Ishikawa Railway on 16 March 2024 with the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Tsuruga.

The station's name preserves the Kaga-region verb "iburu" — meaning "to sway or jolt" — coined for a wobbling bridge over the Iburihashi-gawa, a word that now survives mainly in the station's kanji rather than in everyday speech.
