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

There are also traces of trackbed on the other side of the passenger platform, indicating that it was once an island serving two tracks.

[3] The station was opened on 6 October 1935 as an intermediate stop when the then Yosan mainline was extended from Shimonada to Iyo-Nagahama, thus linking up with the track of the then Ehime Line and establishing through traffic from Takamatsu to Iyo-Ōzu.

With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.
