It is operated by the private transportation company, Kobe Electric Railway (Shintetsu).

It is also the terminus of the 5.5 kilometer Shintetsu Kōen-Toshi Line to Woody Town Chūō The station consists of one island platform serving two tracks, located in a cutting, and connected to the station building by footbridges.The Sanda side from this station is a double track shared by the Sanda Line and the Kōen-Toshi Line, but on the Shinkaichi/Woody Town central side, two single tracks run in different directions.

The track extending from this station to the Shinkaichi side draws a sharp curve, so trains arriving and departing from the Shinkaichi side slow down.
