Kurikuma Station is a statin on the Kotoden Kotohira Line and is located 24.6 km from the opposing terminus of the line at Takamatsu-Chikkō Station.
The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The station is unattended.[2] It used to be an interchangeable station with 2 platforms and 2 tracks, but now one platform has been removed and the site is being used as a monthly parking lot. There are three entrances to the station: both ends of the platform and the side of the station waiting area (near the entrance to the national highway pedestrian bridge).
