The station consists of two opposed side platforms on an embankment, connected by a level crossing.

Although the railroad began to pass through this area from December 1, 1926, no station was constructed in Shingo village (now part of Niimi city), and residents were forced to cross a mountain pass on foot and use Kami-Iwami Station in Tottori Prefecture.

After World War II, the local mayor petitioned for the construction of a station, and about 3,200,000 yen was raised for expenses associated building a station by selling timber from the village forest.The center of the village is the confluence point of a river, and the railroad tracks cross over a slightly elevated position with an iron bridge, making it a difficult location for the construction of the station building.

Therefore, it was decided to seek a site a little further south of the village for the construction of the station.
