Lines edit
Ichibataguchi Station is served by the Kita-Matsue Line, and is located 17.5 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Dentetsu-Izumoshi. Only local trains stop at this station.[2] The Kita-Matsue Line previously extended northwards to Ichibata Yakushi. However, this section of rail was closed in 1944 and disassembled in 1960 due to it being designated as an "unnecessary railway", making this station a switchback.
Station layout edit
The station consists of one side platform and one island platform connected by a level crossing. The station is unattended.
