Layout

Originally, there was a side platform and an island platform serving three tracks. Both these and the station building were at ground level. The station was rebuilt in 2000 with two island platforms serving four tracks and a new station building designed imitating the Phoenix Hall of Byōdō-in, a major tourist attraction in Uji.
