Lines
The station is served by the Nippō Main Line and is located 447.1 km from the starting point of the line at Kokura.[3]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track on a low embankment in a fairly confined area. There is no station building. At the base of the embankment, a shed has been set up which houses a staffed ticket window. To one side of this, there is a sheltered waiting area with some seats. On the other side of the ticket window are automatic ticket vending machines and a SUGOCA card reading and a short flight of steps leading up to the platform. The platform is generally very narrow. At one point where the platform is wider, some seats and a SUGOCA charge machine are provided. Bike sheds are provided at the station forecourt.[2][3]
Management of the passenger facilities at 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 booth which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[4][5]
