History
Izumma Station opened on 11 November 1934 as a passenger station on the privately operated Sanshin Railway when the line was extended from Sanshin-Miwa, today Tōei, to Sakuma, today Chūbu-Tenryū. On 1 August 1943 the Sanshin Railway was nationalised and merged with several other local lines to form the Iida Line, after which the station came under the Ministry of Transport and later Japanese National Railways. Restrictions limiting passenger use to certain origin and destination stations were lifted in December 1952. With the breakup and privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central. The unstaffed station has a single side platform with no station building, and passengers board directly from the platform.

Notes
The name Izumma is known as one of the harder-to-read station names on the Iida Line, and a short stretch of curved track and a cutting between here and Kamiichiba mean that the next station — only 0.6 km away — cannot be seen from the platform.
