History

Ii Station opened on 21 January 1964 as an unstaffed stop on the JR 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 between 28 July and 8 August 2013 when heavy rain damaged the track. 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 the "world's narrowest station name in Latin letters": two letters, the same count as Ao, Oe, and Ei, but the narrowest in printed width.
