There are no ticket vending machines, and local tickets and admission tickets must be purchased at the Midori no Madoguchi. After the Tenpoku Line was abolished, the wooden station building was remodeled into the current station building using the budget of Otoineppu Village. Next to the station building is the office of the Nayoro Track Maintenance Office Otoineppu Track Maintenance Management Office. The station building also serves as a bus waiting room. There is also a "Tenpoku Line Reference Room" where materials related to the Tenpoku Line are exhibited.
