Ichiburi Station opened on 15 October 1912. With the privatization of
Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West. From this date, Ichiburi Station became a boundary station between the
Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line of Toyama Prefecture to the west and the
Echigo Tokimeki Railway Nihonkai Hisui Line of Niigata Prefecture to the east. ==Passenger statistics==
