Iyo-Sakurai Station is a station on the Yosan Line that opened on 21 December 1923 in Sakurai, Imabari, Ehime Prefecture. On 18 March 1950, during Emperor Shōwa's postwar tour, his imperial train stopped for six minutes and a welcoming ceremony was held in front of the station. Freight and parcel handling ended on 8 November 1971, when the station was placed under contracted (simplified) operation and became unstaffed. It became a JR Shikoku station at the 1 April 1987 division and privatization of Japanese National Railways, and its station number is Y38. Some services of the express 'Iyo' formerly stopped here, but by April 1987 such stops had already ceased. It is a ground-level station with two opposing platforms serving two tracks under a single-track-through arrangement, with track 1 serving as the through up-and-down main line and track 2 as the up-and-down secondary line; absent a train crossing, platform 1 is used in both directions.

In the Imabari forest fire that broke out on 23 March 2025, an unusual measure was taken whereby, because of evacuation orders, all trains passed through this station without stopping until noon on 28 March.
