The station consists of an island platform serving eastbound trains and a side platform serving westbound trains.

History
The station opened on 21 August 1904.

In September 1964, a third temporary platform was constructed across from the existing island platform to separate passengers on westbound trains and eastbound trains to reduce overcrowding during the 1964 Summer Olympics. The third temporary platform has remained closed after the 1964 Games, but the plan was announced in 2016 to renovate the station and to convert the temporary platform to a permanent westbound platform in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics.

In March 2020, the renovation of the station and the conversion of the temporary platform was completed with the addition of new escalators, elevator and platform edge doors.
