History

Isozaki Station opened on 3 September 1924 as a station on the privately-built Minato Railway in what is now the city of Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture. The line later passed through Ibaraki Kōtsū before being transferred to the third-sector operator Hitachinaka Seaside Railway, on whose 14.3 km Minato Line the station continues to operate. The station is unstaffed and consists of a single curved side platform serving the single-track line, situated 13.3 km from the line's starting point at Katsuta Station.

Notes

The Sunspot Research Center of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology — one of Japan's solar-observation facilities — sits just outside Isozaki Station, making this small Minato Line halt the nearest railway access to NICT's heliophysics work.
