Station layout edit

The station has a single side platform and a single-story station building, which also contains a Good Design Award (Japan)-winning cafe. The station originally was built with opposing side platforms, but one platform was removed to create a head shunt. The station is unattended, but a public restroom facility, phone booth and Entetsu Bus Line 46 and 56 stops are located just outside. Locally-grown grapes are sold seasonally out of the farm supply center adjacent to the station.
