Lines
The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 187.0 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and they only serve the sector between Iyo-Saijō and Matsuyama. Connections with other local or limited express trains are needed to travel further east or west along the line.[4]
Layout
Iyo-Wake Station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. Line 1, served by platform 1, is the straight track and line 2, served by platform 2, is a passing loop. A station building linked to platform 1 houses a waiting room and an automatic ticket vending machine. Access to platform 2 is by means of a footbridge.[2][5][6] Several sidings branch off line 2 while on the side of platform 1 are the traces of a disused freight platform.[3]

History
Iyo-Wake Station opened on 3 April 1927 as an intermediate stop when the then Sanyo Line was extended from Iyo-Hōjō to Matsuyama. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
