Ichibataguchi Station (一畑口駅, Ichibataguchi-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company, Ichibata Electric Railway.[1]

Lines

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.
