The station consists of one ground-level side platform serving a single bi-directional track.
The station building is also used as a waiting room, and an automatic ticket vending machine is installed inside.
With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).
[2] The station is located right next to Umegatoge, a pass between Yoshimi, Shimonoseki City and Atsumogo, former Toyoura Town.
