Station layout

The station consists of one side platform serving a single bidirectional track. The station building is elevated and is located on the edge of a hill, with a residential area on the west side and a bus stop on the hill directly accessed by stairs from the station building. In anticipation of double-tracking, the platform is designed so that it can be remodeled into an island-type platform with two tracks in the future.
