Inside the station building is a display with a list of parcel fares from when the train was in service, photos of steam locomotives, and a chronological chart of the history of the San'in Main Line. The space that used to be the station office is now a direct sales store for local agricultural and marine products.The station building received protection by the national government as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2017.[2]
