Lines

The station is served by JR Shikoku's Dosan Line and is located 21.6 km (13.4 mi) from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.[3][4]

Layout

The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track tracks on an embankment high above the surrounding farmland. There is no station building, only a shelter for waiting passengers. A flight of steps leads up from the access road to the platform and the station is thus not wheelchair accessible. There is a bike shed by the side of the access road.[1][5]
