• IR Ishikawa Railway Line: Tsubata

Kurikara Station began on 16 December 1908 as a signal station on the state-run Hokuriku Line between Tsubata and Isurugi, and was promoted to a passenger station as Kurikara Station on 15 June 1909. Freight handling ran from 1913 to 1962, and parcel work ended in 1971, after which the station became unstaffed apart from traffic-control personnel. The station passed to JR West on 1 April 1987. With the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Kanazawa on 14 March 2015, the parallel local line was reassigned to two third-sector operators, and Kurikara became the boundary station between the IR Ishikawa Railway Line and the Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line.

Kurikara is the only Ainokaze Toyama Railway station located in Ishikawa Prefecture rather than Toyama, despite being managed by IR Ishikawa Railway.
