Lines
The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 137.8 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu Station.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and they only serve the sector between Iyo-Saijō and Matsuyama. Connections with other local or limited express trains are needed to travel further east or west along the line.[4]

Track 2, served by platform 2, is a straight track. Access to platform 2 is by means of a footbridge. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room.

History
The station opened on 21 December 1923 as the terminus of the then Sanyo Line which had been extended westwards from Iyo-Miyoshi. It became a through station on 11 February 1924 when the line was further extended to Imabari. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
