• Uchiko Line: Uchiko ⇄ Kitayama (Ehime)

Ikazaki Station opened on 1 May 1920 as a station of the privately built Ehime Railway, a 762 mm light-rail line running from Wakamiya Junction near present-day Iyo-Nagahama to Uchiko. The line was nationalised on 1 October 1933, and re-gauging to 1,067 mm in October 1935 brought Ikazaki into the new Uchiko Line. When Japanese National Railways later built a new Uchiko branch of the Yosan Line, the track at Ikazaki was re-aligned and the station relocated; the new station reopened on 3 March 1986. JR Shikoku took control on 1 April 1987. The station consists of a single side platform — about 20 metres of which lies inside the 1,106 m Ikazaki Tunnel toward Uchiko.

About 20 metres of the platform actually extends into the 1,106 m Ikazaki Tunnel — passengers boarding at the far end of the platform wait under tunnel cover even on dry days.
