Lines edit
Matsuzaki Station is served by the San'in Main Line, and is located 264.6 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kyoto.
Station layout edit
The station consists of one ground-level side platform and one island platform connected by a footbridge to the station building. However, from 2003 the outer track (Track 3) on the island platform was removed, making the station effectively a two side platform configuration. Platform 2 on the former island platform is used only for passing limited express trains, and as a general rule, trains that stop in both directions use Platform 1 on the side of the station building. The station is unattended.
