Nishi-Ōzu Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 245.3 km from the start of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local trains stop at the station and the eastbound trains terminate at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a simple shelter for waiting passengers. A ramp leads up to the platform from the access road. A bike shed is provided near the base of the ramp.[2][5][3]
