Lines
Iyo-Tomita Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 141.6 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu Station. 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 consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room.

A siding branches off line 1 and leads to a vehicle shed.

History
Iyo-Tomita Station opened on 11 February 1924 as an intermediate stop when the then Sanyo Line was extended westwards from Iyo-Sakurai to Imabari. 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.
