Layout
The station has two semi-underground side platforms and two tracks connected by an elevated station building The ticket gates and concourse are on the first floor, and the platform is below. There is only one ticket gate. Because it is semi-underground, there are tunnels on both sides of the station. The station building is designed to harmonize with the surrounding hills, making extensive use of gentle curves. Not only the station building but also the station sign features a gently curved flower design as the station logo. The walls are made of glass, giving the station a sense of openness.[2]
