Izumi Station opened on 15 October 1923 as a station on the Sendai Line of Japanese Government Railways, which was incorporated into the Kagoshima Main Line on 17 October 1927. The Izumi Engine Section locomotive depot was established in May 1929. The wooden station building was demolished in 1951 and replaced with a reinforced-concrete structure. Steam operation through the station ended on 1 October 1970 with the full electrification of the Kagoshima Main Line. JR Kyushu inherited the station in 1987. When the first Kyushu Shinkansen segment opened on 13 March 2004, Izumi gained a Shinkansen station, and the conventional Yatsushiro-Sendai stretch was transferred to the third-sector Hisatsu Orange Railway.

In June 1949 Emperor Shōwa's post-war regional tour halted at Izumi for seven minutes, with a welcome held in the station forecourt; the station also remains a Hisatsu Orange Railway operating hub thanks to its adjoining depot.
