The station itself is located on level 2 and includes an enclosed waiting room and a staffed ticket window.

By 1928, the track had been extended eastward and had linked up with the Inukai Line (犬飼線) which had been built westward from Ōita.

On 2 December 1928, the entire track from Kumamoto to Ōita was designated as the Hōhi Main Line.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.
