It is also the nominal terminus of the Hakubi Line, although most trains continue the additional 15.9 kilometers to terminate at Okayama.

Trains coming and going to Fukuyama on the San'yō Main Line basically use Platforms 1 and 3.

Platforms 4 and 5 are used by trains entering and leaving the Hakubi Line.

Inbound freight trains that enter the San'yō Main Line from the Mizushima Rinkai Railway use the siding between Platforms 3 and 4.

Chayamachi Station, which services the Uno and Honshibasan Lines (including the Seto Ōhashi Line) is accessible via a 22-minute bus ride operated by Shimotsui Electric Railway.
