The station is served by the old line or the Nagayo branch of the Nagasaki Main Line and is located 16.4 km from the branch point at Kikitsu.[3] Only local trains run on this branch.[4]
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track on an embankment. A small station building houses a staffed ticket window and waiting area at the base of the embankment from which a covered flight of steps leads to the platform where a shelter is provided for waiting passengers. The station is equipped with a SUGOCA card reader.[3][2]
Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket window which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[5][6]
