Station layout

The station consists of two island platforms (platforms 2/3 and 5/6) serving four tracks, with two additional through tracks (tracks 1 and 4). Previously, there was a side platform adjoining track 1, although it was fenced off as it was used only for freight services; this platform was removed during the construction of the current station building (completed in 2011).^{[citation needed]}

The station has automated ticket machines, automated turnstiles which accept Kitaca,^[2] and a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office.
