Lines

The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 3.4 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only the local service on the Yosan Line stop at the station. Although Tadotsu is the official start of the Dosan Line, some of its local trains start from and return to Takamatsu. These trains also stop at Kōzai.[4]

Layout

The station consists of two staggered side platforms serving two tracks. There is no station building but each platform has a shelter and ticket vending machines. From the access road, separate ramps lead up to each platform. A designated area for the parking of bicycles is provided near the station.[2][3][5]
