Layout
The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. A station building, which is located at a lower level than the tracks, houses a waiting room. The island platform is accessed by means of a ramp and a level crossing.[2][5] There is also a passing loop and a siding which leads to a separate freight platform used for the loading of ballast.[6]
JR Shikoku closed its ticket window at the station on 1 October 2010.[7] Subsequently, a kan'i itaku agent reopened the window and continued selling tickets from a JR Shikoku POS machine.[8][9]
