The station consists of a single ground-level platform servicing trains to Torokko Kameoka. It is wheelchair-accessible.[5]
The building includes a concourse, rest area, café, and bike rentals. The Diorama Kyoto Japan contains one of Japan's biggest HO scale model train collections, and a large diorama of Kyoto's historic sites and neighbourhoods.
Several preserved Japanese steam locomotives are also on static display in the 19th Century Hall and by the main entrance, including:[4]
- JNR Class C58 48
- JNR Class D51 51 (demolished in 2019 due to aging)
