Lines
The station is served by the Hōhi Main Line and is located 7.8 km from the starting point of the line at Kumamoto.[3]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track at grade. There is no station building only a shelter on the platform. A staffed ticket booth is located on the other side of the track, within the premises of the Tokai University Kumamoto campus. From there, a level crossing is used to access the platform.[2][3][4]
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 booth which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[5][6]
