Kawachi-Iwafune Station opened on 2 December 1935 as a new stop on the Katamachi Line between Tsuda and Hoshida, initially a single-platform unstaffed halt. With the line's double-tracking, a temporary station building entered service on 30 April 1975 and the layout was expanded to two platforms and two tracks on 1 October 1979. The station passed to JR West on 1 April 1987 and adopted the Gakkentoshi Line nickname on 13 March 1988, becoming a Rapid-service stop on 1 September that year. A staffed booking office opened on 1 November 1992 and ICOCA was accepted from 1 November 2003. Station numbering JR-H30 was assigned in March 2018, and the booking office closed on 24 September 2022, replaced the next day by a Midori no Kenbaiki Plus terminal.

Kawachi-Iwafune is an interchange with the Keihan Katano Line at Kawachi-mori Station, about 300 m to the south. Until 1 May 1948 the Keihan interchange was a different, now-vanished station, Keihanshin-Iwafune, which had opened alongside Kawachi-Iwafune in 1935 under the name Shigiden-Iwafune and was renamed twice before being abolished when Kawachi-mori Station resumed service.
