Lines

The station is served by the Sasaguri Line and is located 21.9 km from the starting point of the line at Yoshizuka. The station is sometimes depicted on maps and timetables as part of the Fukuhoku Yutaka Line, of which the Sasaguri Line is a component.

Station layout

The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks on a low embankment. Sidings branch off the track in the direction of Kurōbaru. The station building is at a higher level than the main road and accessed by a flight of steps. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a covered footbridge. Bike sheds are located at base of the steps leading to the station building.

Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket window which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.
