Station layout
Shimo-Gion Station had featured one island platform serving two tracks. The station building is to the north-east of the platforms, and are connected together by a railway crossing.
A new station was built, and the island platform was replaced by two separate side platforms linked by a pedestrian bridge outside of the station. There is no way to travel between platforms without passing through the fare gate.
Access to the platforms is restricted with ticket gates. A ticket office is available at this station.
