The station is served by the Sasaguri Line and is located 19.9 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 consists of two side platforms serving two tracks on a low embankment. There is no station building, only shelters on the platforms for waiting passengers. Access to the opposite platform is by means of an underpass under the embankment leading to steps at both ends.[2][3]
In between Kurōbaru and Kido-Nanzōin-mae, the line runs through the 4550-metre-long Sasaguri Tunnel.[2]

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.[4][5]
