Ikisan was opened on 29 April 1924 as an additional station on the existing track between Fukuyoshi and Maebaru. When the Kitakyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 October 1937, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and designated the line which served it as the Chikuhi Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 363 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 251st among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[6]
