The station is served by the JR Shikoku Naruto Line and is located 4.9 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]
The station was opened by the privately run Awa Electric Railway (later the Awa Railway) on 1 January 1924 as Tenrikyōmae Stop (天理教前停留場, Tenrikyōmae-teiryūba). After the Awa Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1933, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. It was upgraded and renamed as Kyōkaimae Station and operated it as part of the Awa Line. On 20 March 1935, after some other stations on the line were absorbed into the Kōtoku Main Line, Kyōkaimae became part of the Muya Line. On 1 March 1956, the line was renamed the Naruto Line. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.[6][7]
