Lines
editMakiyama Station is served by the Tsuyama Line, and is located 11.4 kilometers from the southern terminus of the line at Okayama.
Station layout
editThe station consists of two ground-level opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. The platform is narrow because the station is located along a cliff. Platform 2 is adjacent to the station building, which is little more than a waiting room. All trains normally use Platform 2 in both directions, unless trains moving in opposite directions are passing. The station is unattended.
