The station is served by the Sasaguri Line and is located 13.4 km from the starting point of the line at Yoshizuka.[2] The station is sometimes depicted on maps and timetables as part of the Fukuhoku Yutaka Line, of which the Sasaguri Line is a component.
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single elevated track. From the main road, a flight of steps leads to a dias. A tall stairwell then gives access to the platform. An automatic ticket vending machine is located at the base of the stairwell. A toilet building is located next to the dias.[2][3][4]
Although Yoshizuka is considered the starting point of the line and distances are reckoned from it, JR Kyushu timetables and other sources regard trains heading for Yoshizuka as "down" (下り, kudari) or outbound. Trains heading for Keisen are considered "up" (上り, nobori) or inbound.[5]

The station was opened by Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 25 May 1968 as an intermediate station when it extended the Sasaguri Line east from Sasaguri to Keisen. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[6][7]
