The effective length of the platform is 120 meters, which corresponds to a 19-meter-class Hanshin 6-car train. However, only 4-car trains stop at this station.

History
Ishiyagawa Station opened on the Hanshin Main Line on 12 April 1905.[2]
Service was suspended owing to the Great Hanshin earthquake in January 1995. Restoration work on the Hanshin Main Line took 7 months to complete.[2] The station was reconstructed as an island platform station, instead of its previous two opposed side platform configuration.
Station numbering was introduced on 21 December 2013, with Ishiyagawa being designated as station number HS-26.[3]

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 6,838 passengers daily[4]
