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

With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).

The city's general branch office (former Toyoura town hall) is located right next to the station, but other administrative agencies in the Toyoura area are located around the neighboring Ogushi station.

Japan National Route 191 passes in front of the station.
