Izumo Taisha-mae Station is the terminus of the Taisha Line, and is located 8.3 kilometers from the opposing terminus of the line at Kawato on the Kita-Matsue Line. This station is served by local and express services.[3] The station is the only rail link between Taisha and Izumo since the closure of the JR Taisha Station and the Taisha Line in 1990.
The station consists of one bay platform. The station building was designed in a Western architectural style with striking stained glass windows as a feature. Formerly there was a tower as part of the central building, this has since been removed. The station building was designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 1996.[4] In 2009, it was certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as an important Heritage of Industrial Modernisation site for its value to the promotion of tourism.[5] The station is staffed.
