## History

[edit]

Isesaki Station was opened on 20 November 1889 for Ryōmō Line service.[4] On 13 July 1910, the Tobu Railway station opened.[5] The station section servicing the Ryōmō Line was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.

The JR East station started accepting Suica cards on 18 November 2001, while the Tōbu Station started accepting Pasmo cards on 18 March 2007.[6]

In May 2010, the construction work to elevate the Ryōmō Line platforms in Isesaki Station was completed. From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tōbu lines, with Isesaki Station becoming "TI-25".[7] On 19 October 2013, roughly three years after the completion of the construction work surrounding the Ryōmō Line, the Tobu Isesaki Line elevation work was completed.[8]

The Midori no Madoguchi ticket office was closed on 30 November 2021.[9]
