There is no station building but both platforms have weather shelters and also "tickets corners" which are small shelters housing automatic ticket vending machines. each platform has its own flight of steps and ramp leading down to the access road. An underpass under the embankment is used to cross from one platform to the other. Designated parking lots for bicycles are provided on the west (Botchan Stadium) side of the station.[2][6] A siding branches off track 2.[4]
