History

Ishibashi Station opened on 16 July 1885 as a stop on Nippon Railway, in what is today Shimotsuke, Tochigi Prefecture. At opening the line carried just two return services a day. The route was nationalised on 1 November 1906 and joined the Tohoku Main Line in the 1909 naming reform. Freight handling ended on 15 October 1974, parcel handling on 1 February 1984, and the station passed to East Japan Railway Company on 1 April 1987. Suica ticketing began on 18 November 2001, and routine duties were contracted out from 1 May 2013. Its Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 30 April 2015.

Notes

The east-side bus stop hosts Nissan-Tochigi-Factory employee shuttles, since the rotary straddles the boundary with neighbouring Kaminokawa town.
