Location

History

Ikuji Station opened on 16 April 1910 with the Hokuriku Main Line's extension from Uozu to Tomari, in what is now Kurobe in Toyama Prefecture. The station was originally requested by the town of Ikuji as a freight and passenger stop, and a freight siding was added in March 1963, eventually serving plants including Hokuriku Salt Industries and YKK before freight handling ended in 1984. The present 230 m² reinforced-concrete station building was completed in March 1976. With the 14 March 2015 extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Kanazawa, the parallel JR West line was transferred to Ainokaze Toyama Railway, and Ikuji Station was destaffed on 1 April 2025.

Notes

Since March 2017 the arrival chime, shared with Kurobe Station, has been an arrangement of "Kōkyō kōtsū no uta", a song composed by Kei Takahara as part of a 2016 public-transport promotion project.
