• Kagoshima Main Line: Higashi-Ichiki ⇄ Satsuma-Matsumoto

Ijūin Station opened on 11 October 1913 when the Railway Bureau's Sendai Line opened between Higashi-Ichiki and Kagoshima. From 1 April 1914 it was the terminus and zero-kilometre point of the privately built Nansatsu Railway (later the Kagoshima Kōtsū Makurazaki Line), an interchange that lasted until that line was abolished on 18 March 1984, the section between Ijūin and Hioki never having been restored after torrential rain suspended the whole line in June 1983. The Sendai Line was renamed the Kagoshima Main Line on 17 October 1927. Freight handling ended on 1 February 1984, parcel service on 14 March 1985, and the station passed to JR Kyushu at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. A Midori no Madoguchi ticket office opened on 19 February 1988. The current overhead-style station building, the third generation here, opened on 6 June 2015.

From 1 February 1949 the connecting Nansatsu Railway ran through-services from this station onto JNR tracks as far as Kagoshima Station; the service was increased to three round-trips on 11 November 1954.
