The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 6.1 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Yosan line local, Rapid Sunport, and Nanpū Relay services stop at the station. Some trains of the Marine Liner rapid service on the Seto-Ohashi Line between Okayama and Takamatsu also stop at the station. Although Tadotsu is the official start of the Dosan Line, some of its local trains start from and return to Takamatsu. These trains also stop at Kinashi.[4]
The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a footbridge. Parking is available at the station forecourt.[2][3][5] The station's ticket window is unstaffed but a Chinese restaurant in the station building acts as a kan'i itaku agent and sells some types of tickets.[6]

The station opened on 21 February 1897 as an intermediate stop when the track of the privately Sanuki Railway (later the Sanyo Railway) was extended from Marugame to Takamatsu. After the railway as nationalized on 1 December 1906, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over the station and operated it as part of the Sanuki Line (later the Sanyo and then the Yosan Main Line). With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR, the successor of JGR) on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
