The station is served by the JR Shikoku Naruto Line and is located 1.3 km from the beginning of the line at Ikenotani.[3] Only local services stop at the station.[4]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform. A ramp leads up to the platform from the access road.[2][3][5]
Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 15 April 1961 as an added station on the existing Naruto Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 84 passengers daily[8]
