History
Ikunoya Station opened on 27 March 1987 as a petitioned station added by Japanese National Railways between Suō-Kubo and Suō-Hanaoka on the Iwatoku Line, handling only passenger traffic and unstaffed from the outset. Just five days later, on 1 April 1987, JNR was privatised and the station passed to JR West. It consists of a single 75-metre side platform serving one bi-directional track, with no station building; a small shelter near the Tokuyama-end entrance houses a simple ticket-vending machine. The Sanyō Shinkansen viaduct runs parallel to the line nearby. The station is administered from Tokuyama and serves a residential new town in Kudamatsu City.
