Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama.[4]

The station consists of two staggered opposed side platforms serving two tracks. Line 1, served by platform 1 on the side of the station building, is a through track while line 2 is a passing loop. The station building is unstaffed and houses a waiting room and an automatic ticket vending machine. Access to platform 2 is by means of a footbridge.[2][5] Two sidings branch off line 1 and end near the station building.[3]

History

The station opened on 27 February 1930 as an intermediate stop when the then Sanyo Line was extended from {Matsuyama to Iyoshi. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]

gollark: I reduced it to just 651 states and ran it with pypy, yet it STILL runs slowly?!
gollark: Wow, converting my 1011-state finite state machine into a regex is slow.
gollark: Oh, they must be using the popular redux-saga library.
gollark: Do you know about "minifiers"?
