[3] The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two side platforms serving two tracks on an embankment.

From the station entrance, a double flight of steps leads up the embankment to platform 1.

[3][2] Japanese Government Railways (JGR) built the station in the 1930s during the development of an alternative route for the Nagasaki Main Line along the coast of the Ariake Sea.

A few months later, link up was made from Yue to Tara (which had been extended south from Hizen-Yamaguchi).

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.
