The unstaffed station consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a weather shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. A ramp leads up to the platform from the access road. A public telephone callbox is provided at the base of the ramp. Parking is available in the open space around the station entrance.[2][5] The side platform was formerly an island platform. There are also the remains of a former freight platform.[6]

History[]

The station opened on 15 September 1939 when the Dosan Line was extended westwards from Susaki to Tosa-Kure. At this time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][7]
