History
Iwashiroshimizu Station opened on 21 June 1925 as Shimizu-Yakubamae Station on the Iizaka Electric Tramway, and was renamed to its present form on 29 December 1944. The station sits 2.7 km from the Fukushima Kōtsū Iizaka Line’s starting point at Fukushima, in Izumi, in the city of Fukushima. It has a single above-ground side platform serving one bi-directional track. The window is staffed on weekday mornings and evenings, with a simple IC-card gate, ticket machine and basic toilet on site. Until 1981 freight operations also ran through Iwashiroshimizu, with a siding serving the now-closed Fukuden Kōgyō works. The neighbouring Izumi Station lies only about 300 metres away.

Notes
Iwashiroshimizu is the only station still in operation whose name carries the prefix of the former Iwashiro Province; the last others closed with the JNR Kawamata Line in 1972.
