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

The small station building is more of a waiting room, as there is no facility for ticket sales.

Kiwado Station was opened on 9 December 1928 on a spur line of the Japan Government Railways Mine Line from Nagatoshi Station.

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).
