History
Izumigō Station opened on 4 December 1934 as a Suigun Line stop in present-day Tamakawa, Fukushima. Freight and parcel handling were discontinued on 1 October 1970, at which point the station was made unstaffed; the office space was leased to a private taxi company that operated a simple-ticket counter on JNR's behalf. Following the privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR East, and the simple-ticket contract was later dissolved, leaving the station fully unstaffed. The original station building was demolished in 2018 in favour of a temporary waiting room, and a new station building opened in 2019.
