The station, which is not staffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track on a sidehill cutting grade.

The line and its stations closed when the Miyazaki Railway ceased operations on 1 July 1962.

Subsequently, Japanese National Railways (JNR) extended its then Shibushi Line north from Kitagō towards Minami-Miyazaki using largely the same route.

The linkup, which included the reopening of several previously closed stations, was completed on 8 May 1963, and inc whereupon the route was renamed the Nichinan Line.

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