The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is a small shed which houses a ticket window, an automatic ticket vending machine, a Sugoca charge machine and card reader. There is no waiting room but seats are provided at the shelters on the platforms. Access to the opposite side platform is by means of a footbridge.[2][3][4]
