The present station building, completed in 2003[5] is a hashigami (橋上) structure where passenger facilities are located on a bridge which spans the tracks.

The main station entrance is on the west side of the tracks from where elevators and escalators lead to the bridge structure on level 2 which houses ticket gates, a waiting area, a JR ticket window (without a Midori no Madoguchi facility)[6] and a JR travel centre (Warp Plaza).

On the east side of the tracks, the hashigami bridge structure also connects to a neighbouring building as well as a second station entrance from road.

It was an intermediate station during the first phase of the construction of the Mugi Line when a track was built from Hanoura to Kuwano.

On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the Station.
