A passing loop runs on the other side of platform 2 while a siding runs on the other side of platform 1, ending near the station building.

History

The station was opened on 16 February 1899 by the privately-run Tokushima Railway as the terminus of a line from Tokushima. It became a through-station on 19 August 1899 when the line was extended to Awa-Kawashima. When the company was nationalized on 1 September 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and operated it as part of the Tokushima Line (later the Tokushima Main Line). With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.[7][8]
