Lines
Iyo-Hōjō Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 176.9 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu. 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.
Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform and an island platform serving two tracks. The track on the side of Platform 1 is the main line track used by through traffic (speed limit 100 km/h), and the track on the side of Platforms 2 and 3 is the secondary main line. In principle, trains in both directions enter Platform 1, unless there is a crossing of an oncoming train, a freight train, or a freight train that departs from or arrives at this station.

History
Iyo-Hōjō Station opened on 28 March 1926 when the then Sanyo Line was extended from Kikuma. 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.
