Layout edit
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track at grade. There is no station building, only a simple weather shelter on the platform. The platform is located on the other side of the track from the access road. From the station entrance, a level crossing is used to cross the track to the platform. A bike shed has been set up at the station entrance.[2][3]

On 8 May 1963, the route was redesignated the Nichinan Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5][6]
