History
Iizaka Onsen Station opened on 1927-03-23 as a station of the Iizaka Electric Railway, today operated by Fukushima Kōtsū as the terminus of the Iizaka Line. The station is in Iizaka-machi in the city of Fukushima, 9.2 kilometres from the line's starting point at Fukushima Station. On 1982-12-21 the station was relocated about 100 metres toward Hanamizuzaka and its building rebuilt in reinforced concrete; the older building, in wood and mortar on the riverbank embankment, had stood since 1945. On 2010-12-20 the station building was again renovated, this time in a Japanese-traditional style. Iizaka Onsen has two bay platforms serving a single bi-directional track and remains staffed.

Notes
Between 1908 and 1967 Fukushima Kōtsū's tramway branch had a Yuno-machi terminal about five minutes' walk east across the Tozuna bridge; that branch closed in 1967, leaving Iizaka Onsen as the only rail terminus in the spa district.
