History

Ishigamimae Station opened on 13 October 1928 along the Ōme Railway (later Ōme Electric Railway) in what is now Ōme, Tokyo, originally named Rakuraku-en as the access point for the railway-owned amusement park of the same name. The line was nationalised on 1 April 1944 and the station renamed Mitamura, then renamed again to its present name on 1 March 1947. The station became unstaffed in 1971 and passed to JR East with the breakup of Japanese National Railways in 1987. Suica IC card service began on 8 February 2002.

Notes

The original station name came from the Ōme Railway's own amusement park, Rakuraku-en. The park site was later used as a staff dormitory by Prince Motors and is now a Bridgestone employee retreat.
