• Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line: Fukuoka

Isurugi Station opened on 1 November 1898 when the Japanese Government Railway extended its Hokuriku Line from Kanazawa to Takaoka, and became part of the Hokuriku Main Line in 1909. The Kaetsu Railway connected from 22 July 1922, was absorbed into Toyama Chihō Railway in 1943 and Kaetsunō Railway in 1950, and the branch was abandoned in 1972. The current site is in Oyabe, Toyama. JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 transferred it to JR West, and the Hokuriku Shinkansen's 14 March 2015 extension shifted the local line to the third-sector Ainokaze Toyama Railway. A new elevated station building with a north–south concourse opened on 27 November 2018 and now houses the city public library.

Shōwa-era emperor Hirohito departed from Isurugi on imperial trains twice within a year: a 1958 run to Nanao for the National Sports Festival and a 1969 run to Toyama for the National Tree-Planting Festival.
