Ichinami Station is served by the Hokuriku Main Line, and is located 12.6 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Echizen-Hanandō and 15.2 kilometers from Fukui.

The station consists of one ground-level side platform serving single bi-directional track.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

The station was closed from July 18, 2004 to June 30, 2007 due to damages to the tracks following torrential rains, and services were temporarily replaced by a bus service.
