Station layout

The station was built with an island platform, but only one side of the platform is in use, thus making the station a single side platform serving bi-directional traffic. The station is unattended.

The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. The station has been unattended since April 2003.
