The station is served by the Kashii Line and is located 14.2 km from the starting point of the line at Saitozaki.

Station layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. A station building, no more than a narrow shed on the pavement, houses a small waiting area and automatic ticket vending machines. Access to the platform is by a short flight of steps after the automatic ticket gates. A designated parking area for bikes is provided outside the station.
