History

Ii Station opened on 21 January 1964 as an unstaffed stop on the Japanese National Railways San'in Main Line, between Sanmi and Nagato-Misumi, on the initiative of the local prefectural assemblyman Sadaichi Kawamura (father of Diet member Takeo Kawamura). Service was suspended from 28 July 2013 when heavy rain damaged the track, and the section including Ii reopened on 4 August 2013. With the 1 April 1987 breakup of Japanese National Railways, the station passed to the West Japan Railway Company. The station consists of one elevated side platform serving a single track; the small station building doubles as a waiting room.

Notes

The local community promotes Ii Station as having the world's shortest station name written in Latin letters: at two letters it ties Ao, Oe, and Ei, but "Ii" is the narrowest in printed width. Guinness World Records has not recognised the claim.
