Lines
editThe station is served by the Tosa Kuroshio Railway Nakamura Line, and is located 24.1 km from the starting point of the line at Kubokawa.[3] Only local trains stop at the station.[4]
Layout
editThere is no station building. The station, which is unmanned, consists of a single side platform serving a single line and is located on an embankment high above the adjacent main road and buildings. A ramp from the main road leads to a shelter for waiting passengers which is located on a lower level. Steps from the shelter lead up to the platform which is thus not wheelchair accessible. There is no shelter on the platform itself. The station is a designated evacuation area in the event of tsunamis.[5][6] [7]
