[3] The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks at grade with two sidings.

In the first phase of expansion, the track was extended north from Jirogabyū (now Hyūga-Sumiyoshi to Takanabe which opened on 11 September 1920 as the new northern terminus.

Expanding north from Takanabe in phases and joining up with other networks, the track eventually reached Kokura and the entire stretch from Kokura through this station to Miyakonojō was redesignated as the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923.

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