• Kishin Line: Tajibe ⇄ Niimi

Iwayama Station is an unstaffed wooden-shed stop on the Kishin Line, located in Niimi, Okayama Prefecture, 149.8 km from the line's southern terminus at Himeji. It opened on 14 April 1929 when the Sakubi West Line was extended between Iwayama and Niimi, then becoming a through station after the 1930 connection at Chūgoku-Katsuyama. The Kishin Line designation followed in 1936. Cargo handling ended in 1963 and the station became unstaffed in 1973. With the 1987 JNR privatization the station passed to JR West.

Iwayama Station is the main station for visits to Iwayama Shrine, whose grand festival on 3 November draws numerous food stalls and a parading mikoshi (portable shrine).
