Lines
editThe station is served by the Sasaguri Line and is located 21.9 km from the starting point of the line at Yoshizuka.[2] The station is sometimes depicted on maps and timetables as part of the Fukuhoku Yutaka Line, of which the Sasaguri Line is a component.
Station layout
editThe station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks on a low embankment. Sidings branch off the track in the direction of Kurōbaru. The station building is at a higher level than the main road and accessed by a flight of steps. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a covered footbridge. Bike sheds are located at base of the steps leading to the station building.[2][3]
Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket window which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[4][5]
