History

Isawa-onsen Station was opened on 11 June 1903 as Isawa Station (石和駅) on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). The JGR became the JNR (Japanese National Railways) after the end of World War II. Scheduled freight services were discontinued from March 1985. With the dissolution and privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the joint control of the East Japan Railway Company and the Japan Freight Railway Company. The station was named to its present name on April 1, 1993. Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC Card system came into operation from October 16, 2004.
