Iiyama Station is served by the Iiyama Line, and is 19.2 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Toyono Station. From 14 March 2015, it also became a stop on the high-speed Hokuriku Shinkansen line from Tokyo to Kanazawa, located 147.3 km from the official starting point of the line at Takasaki.[1] Iiyama is served by Hakutaka services operating between Tokyo and Kanazawa, although not all trains will stop at Iiyama.[2]
The new station structure built to coincide with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension lies approximately 300 m (980 ft) to the south of the site of the original station.[1] The elevated Shinkansen platforms cross the ground-level Iiyama Line platforms at an angle.[1] The station has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office.
The Iiyama Line is served by a ground-level island platform with tracks on either side.
