Station layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. A station building in a traditional log house design houses a waiting room and automatic ticket vending machines. Access to the opposite platform from the station building is by means of a level crossing which has steps at both ends. On the other side of the tracks from the station building is a separate entrance to the station. This is a flight of steps up a hill slope from the main road and leads directly to platform 2.[2][3]
