History
editIzumoshi Station was opened as Izumo Imaichi Station (出雲今市駅) on 10 October 1910 when the San'in Main Line was extended from Shōbara Station. The Taisha Line began operations on 1 June 1912. The San'in Main Line was further expended to Oda on 21 November 1913. The station was renamed to its present name on 1 April 1957. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West). The Taisha Line was discontinued in 1990.
