History
Izue Station opened on 11 January 1999 with the inauguration of the Ibara Railway’s Ibara Line, the third-sector replacement for the long-defunct Ibasa Railway Kannabe Line. The station was built slightly east of the former Ibasa Kannabe Line’s Shimo-Izue Station; another former halt, Izue Station on the same line, had stood a little further east. The station is an unstaffed elevated halt with a single side platform and no ticket machine; toilets and a bicycle park occupy the space beneath the viaduct.

Notes
The station name is the local place name "Izue" (出部) rendered in hiragana rather than kanji; the kanji form survives in the names of the predecessor Ibasa Railway stations once located nearby.
