History
Iyo-Izushi Station opened on 14 February 1918 as Jyōrōmatsu Station (上老松駅) on the privately run 762-mm-gauge Ehime Railway between Ōzu and Nagahama-machi. When the company was nationalised on 1 October 1933, the station became part of Japanese Government Railways' Ehime Line. The line was re-gauged to 1,067 mm on 6 October 1935, and the stretch from Takamatsu to Iyo-Ōzu was redesignated the Yosan Main Line. On 1 April 1950 the station was renamed Iyo-Izushi after the Mount Izushi temple it serves as a trailhead for, and on 1 April 1987 control passed to JR Shikoku. Since the 1986 Uchiko-line shortcut opened, no limited-express trains have called here.

Notes
Although the platform is otherwise spartan and the original station building was removed, the fence-and-gate frame of the old wicket has been left standing on the platform.
