Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track on a sidehill cut. There is no station building, only a simple shelter for waiting passengers. A steep access road leads up to the platform from the main road. A bike shed is provided at the base of the access road.[2][5][3]
