History
Kita-Iyo Station opened on 27 February 1930 as an intermediate stop on the then-Sanyō Line, when the Japanese Government Railways extended the line from Matsuyama to Iyoshi. The station is located in the town of Masaki, Iyo District, Ehime Prefecture. After the wartime consolidation that produced the Japanese National Railways it remained on the renamed Yosan Line, and on 1 April 1987 control passed to JR Shikoku as part of the JNR privatization. The station has two staggered opposed side platforms; line 1, alongside the unstaffed wooden station building, is a through track, while line 2 functions as a passing loop, with two short sidings branching off line 1. Only local Yosan Line trains stop here today.
