• Meitetsu Inuyama Line: Hotei ⇄ Iwakura (Aichi)

Ishibotoke Station (IY08) sits in Ishibotoke-chō, Iwakura, Aichi, on the Meitetsu Inuyama Line, 11.8 km from the line's origin at Biwajima. It opened on 6 August 1912, ended freight operations in 1960, and saw its present station building completed on 30 May 1982. Sub-express (準急) service stops were added with the 27 December 2008 timetable revision, after which patronage gradually rose. The Manaca IC card began service on 11 February 2011, and a new east-side entrance opened in 2020 as part of a barrier-free upgrade jointly funded by Meitetsu and Iwakura City.

Express and faster trains roar through Ishibotoke at around 110 km/h because the track here is nearly straight with only a gentle curve — the 6000-series excepted, every train above sub-express grade passes the station without slowing.
