Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track at grade. The station building is a simple open-concept structure that serves mainly as a weather shelter for passengers on the platform. A ticket window has been built but is not staffed. From the station entrance, a pedestrian bridge leads across the main road to the Miyazaki Sports Park, the facility which gives its name to the station.[2][3][4]
