• Kintetsu Kashihara Line: Yūzaki ⇄ Tawaramoto

Iwami Station opened on 21 March 1923 when the Osaka Electric Tramway extended its Unebi Line from Hirahata to Kashiharajingu-mae. The Osaka Electric Tramway merged with the Sangu Express Railway in 1941 to form Kansai Express Railway, and the 1944 wartime consolidation with the Nankai Railway created Kintetsu, placing the station on the Kashihara Line. Today it sits 13.9 kilometres from the line's starting point at Yamato-Saidaiji and 48.4 kilometres from Kyoto; the unstaffed at-grade station retains two opposing side platforms with capacity for four-car sets, connected by a level crossing on the premises.

Despite a Nara Prefecture address, the station bears the same kanji as Iwami Province in present-day Shimane Prefecture, distinguishing the two on Wikipedia as "Iwami Station (Nara)".
