Ishibashi-handai-mae Station opened on 10 March 1910 as Ishibashi Station, simultaneously with the opening of the Hankyu Takarazuka and Minoo lines by the Minoo Arima Electric Tramway, the predecessor of Hankyu. The station has served as the junction between the two lines since its inception and remains one of the oldest stations on the Hankyu network. Station numbering (HK-48) was introduced on 21 December 2013, and the station was renamed to Ishibashi-handai-mae on 1 October 2019 to reference nearby Osaka University. Movable platform barriers entered service on the Takarazuka Line platforms on 25 September 2025. Layout: three island platforms with five tracks at grade.

On 25 June 1952, anti-Korean-War protesters from an Osaka University meeting forced the station master to run a train at Ishibashi; the ensuing march and clash at the Suita rail yard became known as the Suita Incident.
