The station consists of one ground-level side platform serving a single bi-directional track.

It had a staffed station office, four platforms, sidings and freight yards.

On 1 April 1987 the station was transferred to JR East Japan Railways when the Japanese rail network was privatized.

Beginning on 21 January 2006, passengers were able to use Suica cards at the station.

On 31 March 2007, after 95 years, the staffed station office was closed.
