The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks, enabling passengers to change trains.

Though managed by the Nagato Railroad Bureau, there are no station staff members nor an automated ticket facility.

The platform is halfway up a mountainside cliff, which is accessible via a stairway in a tunnel from the station building.

The construction of the San'in Main Line was the final link in connecting the trainlines in the area during the Taishō period.

[citation needed] Owing to this layout, the tracks leading to Nagato-Futami Station include curves of nearly 90 degrees.
