[4] The station consists of a side platform serving a single track.

[2][3][5] Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 27 June 1937 as the terminus of the Mugi Line when the track was extended southwards from 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.

[8] Japan National Route 55 passes in front of the station and there is a lot of traffic, but the surrounding area is mountainous with sparse buildings.

The station was originally established as a gateway to Fukui Village (later merged into Tachibanacho and then merged into Anan City), but the village center is about 2 kilometers to the north.
